      I would like to join you, if you don't mind. Tea and pastries are best savoured with a company.

    Absolutely gorgeous! “I’m merely the caretaker;it’s not my garden.” Wow - I love the honor and respect that those words bring to the caretakers and gardeners and architects the gardens that have gone before.

    Ain't nature wonderful? Why would anyone destroy it?
    Impossible, of course
    So little people taking care of this and many other beautiful gardens and so many people polluting the rest of the enviroment.
    What a shame
    Amazing job anyway, thank you for your help to preserve such important sources of beauty❤

    with this kind of gardens I suppose the lord has to also think of the future, because no amount of gardeners can make tree grow any faster than it does. so the garden might never look at its peak during his lifetime.

    I've adored Belsay since first visiting as a child in 1960, long before it was open to the public; our family used to picnic there every June when the rhododendrons were in full flower, thanks to my grandpa being acquainted with Sir Stephen Middleton. I've visited twice since it reopened earlier this month and am curious about the major alterations taking place in the formal gardens. I gather there is an explanatory video somewhere but can't find it - can you help please? (This footage shows the gardens how they were last year, not how they are now.... quite a change..... )

  • @leonardovinicius460
    @leonardovinicius460 5 лет назад

    The intervention of these gardeners intervenes in a surgical way so that the spontaneous beauty created by nature presents itself ordered by the strength of the perception of these "artist".

      That's great to hear Baftagirl! We're pleased to confirm that dogs are very welcome in the gardens if they are kept on a short lead. But regrettably they cannot enter the castle or hall. You can find out more about planning a visit to Belsay Hall, Castle and Gardens here:

    Is sir Charles Monk going to eat your in your sleep if you do not abide by his garden plan? Just wondering. It seems to me that you think you will have your soul stolen while you sleep if you don’t do his plan. Who’s gonna to know? Who is going to know? I say pave over the whole damn thing and make sure that it looks like a parking lot and put up at Walmart.
