Coleton Fishacre, Devon : A luxuriant South Devon garden by the sea in a secluded coastal valley. Just across the River Dart from Dartmouth it's a real joy to visit with the added attraction of an Arts & Crafts house with Art Deco style interiors. Now looked after by the National Trust since 1982, it was formerly a holiday home built for Rupert D'Oyly Carte, and there is true 1920s elegance and a sense of Gilbert & Sullivan.

Crystal Palace Park, London : When Crystal Palace Park was constructed in the 1850s, it was arguably the world's first 'theme park'. The giant Palace held technological wonders of the modern world, while walking along the central pathway took the visitor to the prehistoric landscape of the lower lakes and dinosaur park.

The dinosaurs caused a sensation when the Park was opened as they were designed and built before Darwin's 'Origin of Species' was published. They were the first life sized replicas of the prehistoric reptiles ever built.

The dinosaurs were recently restored by Bromley Council following a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund. The £4 million programme brought together a team of palaeontologists and landscape architects. Original colours were restored, replacements made and models reconstructed to match historic records of the original designs.

We only saw a small part of the park and will go back for more some time.

Dartington Hall, Devon : In 1925 when Leonard and Dorothy Elmhirst first started their great experiment in rural regeneration, they too wished to create a garden at Dartington, a garden that would value the works of previous generations. The garden they created would adorn the landscape rather than compete for attention. It would, above all, be an intimate personal garden which they were keen to share with others. Designers who have made important contributions include Tipping, Farrand and Cane. An Excellent garden in the college grounds; it seems to be a closely guarded secret that they are open to the public for free (£2 donation requested, and well worth it).

The new Hosta Garden 2007 : The creation of an extended area for more Hostas. This was a "lasagna garden" in its construction in that most of the sod was not removed, but simply layered over with thick, wet newspapers and soil.
