Brilley Court, Whitney-on-Wye, Herefordshire

Charming Herefordshire garden that erupts in spring with thousands of colourful flowers including tulips, narcissi, cowslips and snakeshead fritillaries. Formal areas around the house include a cutting garden and kitchen garden plus a stone terrace softened with masses of self seeded forget-me-not, muscari and bluebells. A naturalistic valley garden brims with new leaves of gunnera and flowering trees and shrubs.
