Mottisfont, Nr Romsey

Monday 25th January 2016

We made the most of out National Trust membership and had a wander around the garden at Mottisfont this afternoon to see the snowdrops that are just coming into bloom.  There were a fair few out but there are lots more still to come.  The River Test runs through the gardens of the house which is an 18th century home with a medieval priory at it's heart.  

The River Test.

Mottisfont.

And with snowdrops in the foreground.

There was plenty of colour around despite the cold.

And interesting shaped plants.



There are some very impressive old trees in the grounds.






The cellarium in the Abbey, quite dark and atmospheric, with quiet monk music playing in the background (the flash makes it look lighter!)
