wellinghallWe spent the weekend in the Welsh borders.
Clun had new leaves ...
... a packhorse bridge ...
... and a castle.
Stokesay also has a castle, with a bright and cheerful gatehouse.
Berrington Hall has a library ...
... a fine collection of waistcoats ...
... blues and purples in the garden ...
... and red in the car park.
Croft Castle has a church next door ...
... wyverns outside ...
... wyverns inside ...
... another library ...
... and a dragon.
Shobdon has a "Strawberry Hill Gothic" church ...
... at both ends.
And finally, Lydney Park has bluebells ...
... and other spring planting.
