    Minterne Gardens, Minterne Magna north of Dorchester.
    Not the gardens were were expecting but more of a woodland walk, it would have been spectacular three weeks ago but most of the Rhodos and Azaleas had gone over.

    Minterne House, closed to the public.

      Blimey, I'd no idea those Trachycarpuses/i could get so tall!

      It's a nice looking place, thanks for sharing Strongy :dbgrtmb:
