Levens Hall Gardens Inspiration

We used to travel past the sign for Levens Hall a few times a year on our way to the lakes, but we hadn't visited for many years.  This time, however, I was on my own and it was one of my last visits.  It was a gloriously sunny day and despite £9 entrance fee I decided to go into the gardens and once again I was entranced by the wonderful topiary and secret gardens spaces.  I spent the afternoon taking photographs of the truly Alice in Wonderland landscape
 The Open House exhibition this year, is linked to Old Trafford Open Gardens and these gardens have provided the perfect setting for a series of work.
