Cornwall: The lost gardens of heligan

Had a very moving but enjoyable day at Heligan. I've always wanted to go there - and it was far far better than I expected it to be. A great English summer's day ... warm; showers; sunshine; blackberries; wasps.

Sad to hear the history of the place - how the fact so many (men) staff were lost in the Great War that the garden eventually fell in to disrepair. Great to see what they've done with it now. Veggie 'patch' mad me feel a bit homesick.
