Anglesey Abbey

This was built in 1600 on the site of an Augustinian priory. It is full of treasures collected by the first Lord Fairhaven, who also created a fine garden (info taken from AA map book). It was this fine garden that my friends invited me along to walk through and what a lovely garden it was...

Some flower pictures first...

And now some pics of the birch grove...

And a pic of a "house" in the gardens (not the Abbey itself though)...
My friends AG and RG took some nice photos too and I seem to recall they are available for viewing on their blog: www.lifewithoutagogglebox.blogspot.com (hope you guys don't mind me including this link?).

All in all the afternoon turned out to be a pleasant one and I enjoyed the walk through the gardens. I will be sure to visit the gardens again and hopefully will be in a better frame of mind when I do so :).
