Knightshayes Court & Garden


It was one beautiful afternoon in that summer,
I left my footsteps at the Knightshayes Court at Tiverton,
Devon, England.
Knightshayes Court
is a large Victorian country house in a Gothic style -
designed by an influential Victorian architect,
William Burges,
for the Heathcoat-Amory family.
Knightshayes Garden is one of the most beautiful in Devon.
Taking a stroll in the garden, one can enjoy the landscape
of woodland and carefully arranged
plantings or flowering shrubs
create
a place of ever-changing vistas.

There are a variety of amusing animal topiary and clipped hedges, ...
spring bulbs, rare shrubs ...
a lily pool and excellent seasonal colors throughoutSenior and Junior Green
