On a beautiful June day, 4 members visited the Hodnet Hall Gardens.
These gardens have existed in some form or another for many hundreds of years. Their design today reflects the changing shape and fortunes of Hodnet Hall – three different dwellings have existed within the grounds in the past millennium. What you see today represents a tapestry of human endeavour, beginning with the construction of a Norman castle in the 12th century, whose residual earthworks can be seen behind the visitors’ car park.
Here are a few photos showing you some of the vistas.
