The winter walk includes many trees and shrubs that
give wonderful winter colour:
give wonderful winter colour:
hamamelis, cornus, viburnum, betula and prunus
Anglesea Abbey is well known as one of the best winter gardens in England. I've visited before and I'll visit again. This years visit, yesterday, was as lovely as always. It has to be said that the sudden freeze had meant that the poor snowdrops have been hit, and whilst they were flowering, quite a lot were laid low by the cold weather. But there is so much to enjoy in the winter garden and by the Lode mill, that you don't just go for the snowdrops. My visit in pictures...
