Minterne Gardens

Landscaped in the manner of Capability Brown the gardens are laid out in a horseshoe below Minterne House. The trail is around a mile in length with benches at regular intervals so you can sit and enjoy the peace and tranquility. Minterne hosts a world renowned and completely unique collection of Himalayan Rhododendrons and Azaleas, with Spring bulbs, Cherries, Maples and many fine and rare trees. The gardens boast many other picturesque features with a chain of small lakes, waterfalls and streams.

A gorgeous view and reflection, how nicely the bridge has blended in over the years, it's sometimes difficult to realise these types of landscapes are man made, at the moment it is sunny !!!!

A beautiful romantic image, the bridge itself seems to have become part of nature maybe because of the reflections... a very nice capture Rosa!

Lovely shot, Rosa.
Sounds like my ideal MAYtime visit - I miss the great Cornish gardens with their azalea and rhodi displays. In fact I haven't seen any such display for at least 10 years. I can't return to Cornwall at my favourite time of year because it is the climax of the exam season for my students in Madrid! :o(

Rosalyn Hilborne ^club has replied to Andy Rodker ^club

Thank you for your great comments Andy. I shall be returning to these gardens in a few weeks as there will be so much more colour then. I said when we were there that it reminded me of The Lost Garden's of Heligan. As you are unable to visit, I will keep posting the pictures :-)
