Description
|
|
|
|
From the medieval remains of the Bower of Henry II's mistress at Woodstock, in what is now Blenheim Park, to the inspired series of garden rooms surrounding Le Manoir aux Quat' Saisons, an inn and two–Michelin starred restaurant at Great Milton, Oxfordshire has historic gardens and landscapes. While at the heart of the county is Oxford city, with college gardens dating from the 17th century, Oxfordshire's most unpredictable designed landscapes are those of the late 19th and 20th centuries, from Henley-on-Thames with its underground caves and fake Matterhorn to Lady Ottoline Morrell's kitsch blaze of color at Garsington. As with the other books in the series (written to call attention to the individual garden characters of each of England's counties), scads of illustrations, including maps and photographs—16 pages in color—underscore Timothy Mowl's engaging text.
