Notes:

June 2009 – Owen Johnson: The castle gardens have a physic garden, a 16th century rose-garden, an astrological garden, a long herbaceous border inside a walled garden, topiary and yew trees believed to be 1,000 years old. Largest in SE group of four groups at the corners of the formal gardens; good bole. The photo is inside one of the four groups of yews in the old garden here. The stems, individually large, almost coalesce within each group.
