Dist:0.4km<br/>All part of the mix at Shipley Gardens. The stout, lofty stems of the cotton thistle provide drama in the border. Goldfinches and linnets are very fond of the seeds.

Dist:0.4km<br/>An informal mix of wild and cultivated planting created over 40 years by Bob Macadie. Bob, his wife and the peafowl welcome you to the 17th Century Wye Valley homestead. The gardens, which are humming with insects, are moulded into the base of the escarpment next to the flood plain of the valley floor. The gardens are managed as a home for birds, insects, butterflies and small mammals. The glasshouse, to the right, is home to the disused swimming pool and tea room. Signposted from Holme Lacy, the gardens can be found at the end of a long, downhill track. Semi wild and unconventional - I'm glad I turned down the track. At this time of year the peahens are accompanied by their chicks.

Dist:0.5km<br/>There are several peafowl wandering around these unconventional gardens, this one with her well-camouflaged chick scuttled off into the long grass at the back of the property.

Bob has rescued stone from the former Holme Lacy Station and built it into the garden structure, shown here at the front of the picture.
