Athelhampton side
Featured in the ‘Dorset England’ group, with thanks.
Athelhampton is one of the finest 15th century houses in England, containing many magnificently furnished rooms. Visited often by Thomas Hardy, Athelhampton is at the heart of Dorset’s heritage. The Great Hall was built by Sir William Martyn in 1485. The gardens, dating from 1891, are full of vistas and gain much from the fountains and River Piddle flowing through. The walled gardens include the world famous topiary pyramids and two garden pavilions designed by Inigo Thomas. In this unconventional side view you can also see the15th century Dovecote to the right. The low door was opened and it was full of white doves!

Nice contrast and colours and stuff! ‘Ingo Thomas’ you say! Would he be any relation to Inigo Thomas, the famous garden designer?
