Summary
[edit]DescriptionAbbey House Gardens Malmesbury 2.jpg |
Once the site of the Abbot of Malmesbury Abbey's garden, the garden today covers 5 acres, and is located directly beside the historic ruins of the Abbey. The gardens are built about a 16th century house, and offer richly colourful garden walks throught the spring, summer, and fall. One interesting feature is the Knot Garden, an arrangement of formal beds about a well, shaped like a Celtic cross (see photo), in imitation of St Martins cross on Iona. It is rumoured that a Celtic monk from Iona was responsible for founding the Abbey at Malmesbury. Equally unusual is the Dinosaur Grove, planted with trees that prospered when dinosaurs lived. The extensive rose beds echo the style popular in Tudor times. |
