Clumber Park

In the walled garden and glass house at Clumber Park in Nottinghamshire it was all about Apples, Pumpkins and Squashes.

It was a lovely sunny afternoon

 The apples looked wonderful against the warm red brick walls.  There were many different varieties.

In the Apple store there were boxes full of them for sale but still many windfalls in the garden.

The walls and ceiling were full of bunches of dried flowers and grasses.
 
We missed the Apple day as we were there the day before.  I expect it was very popular.
 

 


In the garden the Auricula theatre had been filled with dried flowers and apples.



In the main entance to the glass house were lots of displays of pumpkins and squashes.





Plenty of places to sit, both inside and out.
 
It was warm enough to sit outside with an ice cream but we decided to head towards the cafe for an afternoon cup of tea.


On the way out of the walled garden I spotted a Medlar tree.
 
I've never tasted a Medlar, Have you?
 
After some refreshment in the cafe, where we reminisced about childhood visits, it was time to walk down to the lakeside through the autumnal trees before we moved on.  I'll be back with more in a second post.
