ロウシャムとウィングレーブでの 周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

Watermead Lake is a beautiful and peaceful place situated on the northern end of Aylesbury. There are many waterbirds often seen bobbing around the river and a lovely bandstand where the locals picnic.

The Ascott Circle is located in a section of the garden that is full of circles, between the hedges that surround the Venus statue, the clipped yew sundial and the Titanic barrier hedge. A metal plate set flush with the ground both identifies the artist and helps a viewer understand his intent. A circle is real and symbolic. A stone is real and symbolic. Raw material: the land is made of stone or parts thereof. Cosmic variety: every stone is different like fingerprints or snowflakes. A circle of stones: from simplicity to complexity. http://www.siteandinsight.com/ascott-a-garden-review/

This garden, so named for its displays of tulips in spring, is approached by descending a flight of steps through a rock garden, complete with dripping grotto and artificial stalagmites. In the centre of the garden Story's tall fountain, crowned by Cupid supported by dolphins, is surrounded by a formal bedding scheme.

Bronze fountain by Story, topped with a statue of Eros, stands in the Dutch Garden.

The "Madeira Walk", a path between two mirror herbaceous borders, terminated by George Devey's classical pavilion.
