Dorothy Clive Garden, with Fairy Houses

A few weeks ago we went to the Dorothy Clive Garden which is run by a charitable trust and is open to the public. We like to go 2-3 times a year as it is only a 30-40 minute drive away. This is a hillside gardens with fine views and a small reclaimed quarry garden.

On this visit they had a new (to us) section of the garden showing a number of Fairy Houses. Here are a few photos from our visit. First a view across the front of the garden to the Shropshire hills:

But the Fairy House were quite amusing and would be great for the children:

There were lots of little fairy puns in this garden. Fairy Nuff! (groan…)
