| Edward
kemp designed this 50 acre garden at Knightshayes Court but it owes much to the
Amory family who devoted themselves to its development. Set in the rolling Devonshire countryside this property will be of interest to those not only with an interest in gardens but also to those with a love of historic houses. There are formal terraces and summer flowering borders providing drifts of colours, a topiary fox and hounds, and a tranquil lily pool. The gardens extend into the ' garden of wood ' of rare trees which is magical all the year round. Spring bulbs abound from March to May. The striking Victorian gothic house is a rich combination of medieval romanticism and lavish decoration. Knightshayes Court is just great and one for your diary. |
