Arches & pergolas

Hideaways

The Fishing Pavilion at Kedleston Hall, Derbyshire Grand or intimate, fun of functional, historic or contemporary - every gardener deserves their own special retreat.

Peaceful moats

Their defensive roles long since past, moats are a key feature of many National Trust properties, reflecting the romance of a bygone age. Oxburgh Hall, Norfolk

Avenues & allées

The Oak Avenue at Kingston Lacy, Dorset Stroll to your heart's content along a line of stately trees, you can lose yourself in their majestic presence and watch the seasons go by.

Garden sheds

These functional workplaces; the traditional retreat of every hardworking gardener, take on a charm of thier own over time and provide a glimpse into the lives of those who worked there. The sheds at Lindisfarne Castle in Northumberland are made from three up-turned boats. This photo was taken prior to the fire in October 2005
