Hollyhocks, hedges and home


We made our way back to the car and drove out of town to visit Anne Hathaway's cottage, home of Shakespeare's wife. The gardens here were by far the most amazing. Unfortunately my camera battery died so I am without photos. However, there were tee pees of a variety of sweet peas, poppies, roses and the most amazing hollyhocks. The cottage itself was another interesting wood and timber building with furniture from the period. We also enjoyed a hedge maze and a woodland walk on the property. We drove through the Cotswolds to get back to Bristol, stopping in Stow-on-Wold for a lovely dinner at the White Hart.
