Hi there,

In June I went to Sheffield Park and Garden to attend a National Trust course on Garden History.
The course took us through 700 years of English landscapes and gardens in a morning. A whistle stop tour through the most important gardens of their times, referencing places such as Hardwick Hall, Ham House, Waddesdon Manor and Petworth. One of the most intriguing things I learnt from this day was that a landscape is almost never how it seems at first glance. Every generation of owners will have had added their own impact and features to the garden.
In the afternoon we had a tour of the grounds leading us through the entrance and past the view of the house to look down upon the lakes.

I think the pictures of this garden speak volumes and will do a much better job of describing the place than I can.
