The Gardens of Cumbria
 Levens Hall Topiary Gardens |
The English Lake District and the County of Cumbria have a rich natural and man-made heritage. With Shores washed by the Gulf Stream and an atmosphere tempered by ever-changing light and weather, the landscape reflects a varied geology and cultural history.
The countryside of Cumbria is a natural garden - Rich flower filled meadows bounded by hedgerows and dry stone walls, ancient woodlands and upland slopes full of gorse and heather.
The Gardens of Cumbria are inspirational and show an infinite variety of design with plants from all over the world growing in profusion.
Locations for discerning plants men and women, Garden historians - some gardens date from the 17th Century - and for those who simply want to wander in a beautiful place.
