Old Thatch Gardens 15-05-2014
Owned by Enid Blyton from 1929 until 1938.
She was inspired to write 40 books during this time whilst tending to the two acre garden.
The gardens are a series of formal, modern and naturalistic ones all joined up by wonderful curling pathways and beautiful views. Meander through the Cottage Garden, the Lavender Terrace, the Formal Garden, the Rose Walk and the Water Garden, all of which are teeming with wildlife. The gardens feature in the Most Amazing Gardens in Britain and Ireland and also The Good Gardens Guide.
Enid Blyton called the Old Thatch 'home' and spent many a happy afternoon watching the garden wrens flit in and out of a wonderful old yew hedge feeding their young.
Please note - the gardens are now permanently closed to the public.
