A fine isolated clump of Rhododendron loderi ‘King George’.

The castle facing south.

The coronation rose garden which is largely unchanged.

This is where the King wanted his long herabcous borders. Far too close to the Irish yew hedge of course as Terence told him. This did not go well.

Supposedly a Magnolia x soulangeana ‘Lennei’ but I need to check. On checking it is correct.

A bit more work needed here to formulate this.

The castle facing west. Far away the most impressive elevation.

Much merriment. Two commemorative Magnolia soulangeana planted in the 1950’s but labelled Magnolia sieboldii. Now 2 more true to name M. sieboldii planted ebside them to make a set of 4 ‘the same’. Much merriment.

A magnolia with two additional topgrafts so 3 different sets of flowers. M. ‘Galaxy’ with (perhaps) M. ‘Pegasus’ and M. kobus.

The view from the temple back to the house.

Primula veris in their enormous wild flower meadow in the walled garden. Several key species in the meadow including geranium and knapweed.

The new restaurant and entrance to the walled garden. The new car park can cope with 7-800 cars.

A fine clump of Rhododendron ‘Moonstone’.
