Dyffryn Gardens, St. Nicholas, Vale of Glamorgan.

Went for a walk round the 34 hectare garden of this fabulous house and got some really interesting autumnal shots. The blip I have posted this morning is that of a bronze showing an Oriental man sat on the back of an Ox. Some of the magnificent statues and garden ornaments are part of a collection put together by the son of the original owner who had several worldwide expeditions. He was a very keen horticulturist and many of the plants and trees in the gardens are there as a direct result of his expeditions.
