A detailed guide to many of the most attractive gardens in Southern England's unspoilt High Weald

From the charm of Portmeirion in North-West Wales, to the eccentricity of La Scarzuola of Montegabbione, Umbria, with its musical staircase and transparent pyramid, this book explores follies, extravagant structures erected for amusement or diversion - and occasionally for the residence - of inspired patrons and artists throughout Europe.

This volume meticulously records our enduring love affair with the most beautiful and exotic of plants, the water lily.
