Once a year a local landowner (read: Many years ago an ancestor stuck a big fence around a piece of land and said “I’m having this”) named George Meyrick opens up his gardens to the public with the proceeds going to help local charities.

Having just been down to the Christchurch Food Festival we needed to walk off another titanic breakfast from the superb Priory 17, so took a trip to the Hinton Admiral estate.
It was absolutely baking up there today, and the gardens themselves (and the main house) were magnificient. I’ve created a Flickr set containing a whole host of snaps of the gardens. It’s amazing to think places like this are right on your doorstep and you never even know!
