The Garden

The garden is on the side of a hill with a delightful pond at the bottom of the quarry, accessible either by steps or a path.  It is informal, well kept and designed to encourage the extensive range of wildlife that shares it.

Visiting wildlife has included fox, hare, badger and pheasant.  Residents include squirrels, bats and newts.  There are also many species of song birds including the recent return, after many years' absence, of a nesting pair of Song Thrush.  In fact we have spotted 38 species of bird in the garden over the years.

And look at the view...

The garden is planted for year round interest and shelter with spectacular colour in spring and autumn.  The intriguing nature of the quarry garden makes it seem larger than it is.  As you follow the garden round corners you alight on new perspectives.  The quarry pond is the centre for the wildlife and a unique feature of the garden both in the day and at night.
