Uhmm Pdoc - never had you down for short, fair and pretty
Well Dove, that's clarified things for you. I've only been to Heligan and Eden and loved both but it's good to have the information of which gardens are best in different weather conditions. You'll have a lovely time whatever you do
I've long been fascinated by Castle Drogo but have never been - however I don't think this is the trip that will change that.
We visited the Eden Project a few years ago but have never been to Heligan or Trelissick - I've a feeling that they'll be the gardens of choice this year, given where we're going to be based - that is if the weather isn't suitable for constant sunbathing and paddling on the beach
Thanks for the ideas everyone

Tall, dark and handsome, Dove; wrong on at least 3 counts!

I wonder how the scar on Poldarks face miraculously changed sides from the original series.
whichever you visit Dove, they'll pale to insignificance by comparison with the garden you're visiting in Devon.
I wish.
Much closer Lesley, 2 of those are right.

I'm scared now
I have to say , Drogo is my least fave Lutyens' property. All the others I love. but not Drogo.
no downpipes or windowsills? no woner it leaks
Have to agree with Hosta on Drogo..
i did write quite a long piece on this but deleted it, don't want to turn Doves thread into a debate.
