    Mapperton House and Gardens near Beaminster Dorset are the Manoral home of the present Earl and Countess of Sandwich.
    A few pics of the gardens
    (the house is closed to the public).

      What a lovely place Strongy. Is the Wisteria wall spelling something or is it my imagination?

      John, it is a subliminal message, it says ' you are hungry, go to the Tea shop'.
      It worked.:loll:

      Glad you liked it Penny, if and when you come over here, you've got a hell of a lot of gardens to see.:D

      Ziggy, so you thought you knew Dorset!:)

      After Mapperton we went to Chideo(c)k Manor, gardens only, open for three days (NGS)
      Only one speed camera there now!! in the high street not the gardens.:rolleyespink:

      Robert, Wisteria seems to have excelled itself everywhere this year.:thumbsup:
