The English Country Life - interesting and worth while reading.

Victorian Garden

“The Exquisite Cotswolds ”

Pictures of my aunt's English Country House and Garden in the heart of England's beautiful Gloucestershire.

Here you see a very typical ancient English country garden with wonderful bright flowers, herbs, lavenders and crystal clear stream meandering through the village of Upper Slaughter near Cheltenham. A haven for birds, bees and butterflies. Houses in this area date back to the 16 th century and beyond. One house, pictured below, in a village close to my aunt's house, was bought by King Henry VIII as a gift for his much beloved and favourite first wife, Katherine of Aragon during the 1500's.
