Avenue with a view to surprise

Article Abstract:

There are a considerable number of gardens in the UK which will be open to the public during the Easter period in 1997. The National Trust opens all its gardens at Easter, whether Easter is early or late, but some private gardens will not be opening under the National Gardens Scheme at Easter 1997, as the early Easter has meant that many flowers are not yet in bloom. At all gardens, a great deal of work will have been undertaken during the winter. Gardens worth visiting include Biddulph Grange in Staffordshire and Beverston Castle near Tetbury, England.

Arcadia becomes a car park

Article Abstract:

Purbeck House in Swanage, England, was constructed by stonemason and quarryman George Burt. The house, now a hotel, has an extremely interesting garden. It has solid boundaries, and contains Irish yews and a very large ash. There is a small octagonal summerhouse with a scalloped lead roof. The Sunshine Walk leads to a water tank connected to a second summerhouse on a mound, where the visitor gains spectacular views across the bay.
