| Levens Hall Gardens, renowned for the topiary, and are free to visit during weekends leading up to Christmas. I went along this morning and enjoyed a walk around the gardens. |
 |
| Levens Hall. |
 |
| Laid out in the 1690s, the garden amazingly still retains many of its original features. |
 |
| The sun dial. Sadly the sun was nowhere to be seen this morning! |
 |
| Archway leading to the pond. |
 |
| There are many walkways in the gardens. |
 |
| The gardens are set in 10 acres of land. |
 |
| Rear of Levens Hall. |
 |
| Just a small part of the magnificent topiary garden. |
 |
| The topiary gardens are reckoned to be the finest, oldest and most extensive in the world with over 100 pieces, all clipped to various designs. |
 |
| Hours must be spent constantly trimming in the topiary garden. |
 |
(Part Two of the visit to Levens Hall Gardens will appear tomorrow on North West Images.) |
