The garden
When you've had enough of the hardships of Victorian industry, take a stroll through our cottage garden and you'll see a wide range of plants and flowers, including various herbaceous geraniums, day lilies and wind anenomes. If you're lucky, you might see some local wildlife too - why not see how many different types of butterfly you can see? A perfect spot to relax and unwind.
