Heading towards the final fortnight of summer and catching the warm sunlight spilling into the Quarry Garden at Belsay Hall in Northumberland this afternoon.
The Quarry Garden, as its name might suggest, is a garden that was created across the site of an old quarry and the source of the sandstone used to build Belsay Hall and many buildings in the nearby village.
The Quarry Garden is well-known as having its own microclimate, allowing many exotic plants to flourish alongside stunning rhododendrons.
Belsay Hall lies a few miles north of Ponteland and is in the care of English Heritage.
