Farmland setting

This Wiltshire garden looks, as its owner says, 'as if it has been here for donkey’s years'. A gravel drive curves up to the front door of a banded flint and brick barn, past lawns planted with compact yew pillars and weeping Pyrus salicifolia ‘Pendula’ pears. The barn — medieval in part with later additions — stands within a group of farm buildings, including a listed granary, at the top of a hill, with no other house visible for miles.
