Lutyens Garden, Heywood.

Went back to Heywood Gardens in County Laois this week. The formal garden (not normally my cup of tea) was designed by Lutyens and said to be planted by Gertrude Jekyll. Faded grandeur wherever you look, its a wonderful place, especially mid-week when you are likely to be the only visitor. Here are some photos. Sadly the turtle fountains weren't switched on but still lovely. The holes in the circular wall give views of the countryside.
