A few weeks ago on a Sunday drenched in glorious sunshine, we set sail for Packwood House; a reasonable 45 minute journey from Hidcote. Packwood is just over the border from Gloucestershire in Warwickshire, and is probably most famous for its giant topiary. These were jolly impressive but the real splendour here is the borders and plants!

What a wonderful place! Thanks so much for sharing! Larry
Thanks for this post, Bertie. Lovely arbour and that long border is stunning. I'm particularily partial to long borders!
Great close-up shots, as well. Cheers!
