Cockington ...Part two!




Making our way around the back of Cockington Court, we find this...
The Organic Garden.



An old fashioned garden...walled of course!
There's nothing like a walled garden!



And every now and again there are notice boards with useful information.





A lovely meadow area.











We left the organic garden and we arrived at the craft workshops.








Mr S took a fancy to these metal birds, which came flying home with us and now wend their way around our Heather bed!



This sign above said something about a parking space for a mother in law!



A lovely courtyard with plenty to observe.




Eventually, it was a lovely walk back along the valley, to the village.


More tea anyone?




















A glorious morning was had by all, I can tell you!

  4. Thank you for posting more beautiful photographs, I love so many of them but especially the wild meadow flowers. This is going on my list of places to go to again as I haven't visited since I was a child and I'm an OAP now.! xx

    we went to Cockington when we spent holidays in Devon few years ago:-)) I remember it well, it's a beautiful little village (hamlet).
