7 March 2010 - Montacute House

A first visit in 2010.

The oriel window on the south face of the house.

The decorative garden wall and one of the Pavilions or Pudding Houses.

The northern end of the house and the orangery.

The decorative stonework over the main entrance.

This is a close up view of one of the decorative features on the drain pipes. I think this is a common design used on all the pipes.

The driveway.

The house was closed today. I had not noticed the wording above the main entrance on the western side of the house before.

Another view of one of the Pudding Houses.

The spiral bark pattern on one of the sweet chestnut trees.

The southern gardens.

A glimpse through one of the arches in the hedging.
