Coughton Court









Coughton Court looks very imposing.






In order to reach the back of the house you have to walk through this hedge








and here we are






and then you walk down one of the two tree lined avenues






to reach the river side walk







the river is very shallow







particularly now as we have had no proper rain for weeks







the scent of wild garlic is overpowering







and now we reach the lake







turn left and we enter the bog garden







blue iris






luscious grasses







another view








and on to the kitchen garden and its scarecrow







retracing our steps and walking round the lake








I sat on a bench and was visited by this mallard and her young - they are so tame






a young coot in the water







and finally the herb garden.
