A post from September 2014 about a rather unusual garden in Herefordshire. A delightful county to explore if you are ever in the West Midlands. This post was a contribution to the lovely Restless Jo’s weekly walks.
Garden Portrait: Westonbury Mill Water Gardens

The Water Tower with Gargoyles
Winding paths through the Bog Garden
Cool, shady areas
Butterflies Galore
A folly or two
Just a quiet, tranquil space to enjoy the bird song, running water, autumnal light and colours with plenty of benches to sit on and admire the surrounding Herefordshire hills and meadows.
You will find this unusual garden in the beautiful Welsh Marches close to the ‘Black-and-White’ village of Pembridge.

I love the water tower. Those bog garden paths are quite narrow given they are winding – they’ll deter visitors from walking while using their phones.
