The Wooded Valley
The mature pine wood has been developed as a woodland garden with winding pathways and dramatic waterfalls.
Many rhododendrons and camelias thrive here. Shade tolerant shrubs edge the terraces and glades together with woodlanders, including ferns and foxgloves. On the lower paths a series of pools are cunningly constructed to give the impression of a flowing stream.
A flock of flamingos lived on the lower ponds during Mr Simpsons time. These ponds were built over during the mid 1980's.
