Secret garden

Well it’s not really secret but I can’t believe I’ve never ever been there before, and it’s so gorgeous, and just minutes from my house!

Samares Manor is a beautiful old house with botanical gardens, pagodas, ponds, Camellia trees up to the sky, a huge Plane tree that could have been the inspiration for Enid Blyton’s Faraway Tree, and much more, including a French cafe serving galettes, and lovely shop. Wow! Who knew?
