| Description of Garden | Designer:
|
||||||||||||
| The gardens at Nunnington Hall are particularly attractive with peacocks and ducks wandering freely, old varieties of traditional Rydale fruit trees, and a collection of 50 different types of clematis scrambling up the walls along with roses, vines and cherries. Meadows of naturalised bulbs and wild flowers create a beautiful display in Spring and early Summer. |
