Saltram House


We have been to Saltram Park and gardens many times this year, but we have never been inside the house.  The weather today was grey and overcast so we decided we would start the afternoon by touring the house.  It was full of pictures, furniture and household objects and well worth looking around. There was a special exhibition in the kitchen and this was particularly interesting.


By the time we came outside it was a bit brighter and we walked around the gardens and again we surprised by the many different flowers that were out that brought colour to the gardens.

Aliums and irises
Foxgloves and rhododendrons
Wild orchid among buttercups

A Cranesbill contrasts with a  pink flowering shrub that I did not recognise.
