Visiting Burnby Hall Gardens in Winter
Photos from a lovely garden in East Yorkshire, England
Burnby Hall gardens are situated in the little market town of Pocklington in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England.
They are known for their extensive National Collection of waterlilies on two beautiful lakes. The lakes have a huge population of fish who love to be fed.
The gardens also contain a small aviary, a wonderful rock garden, a stumpery, lots of lovely flower beds and many beautiful old trees.
Although the gardens are most popular in spring, when there is an annual tulip festival, and in summer when the waterlilies are flowering, I love to visit in winter.
In winter the gardens are quiet. The paths are good to walk on and there are several covered benches to enjoy a flask of coffee.
There are lots of structural plants that look beautiful on frosty mornings. And watching moorhens picking their way over ice on the lakes is always a joy.
Here, in no particular order, are some of my photos from winter visits over the past few years. I do hope you enjoy them.
