Coleford House, Coleford, Radstock, BA2 5LU
Coleford House is situated on the River Mells which runs through the property. The large lawn abuts the river bank with a section given over to wild flowers and a well-planted ornamental Lily pond. There will be art by the owner’s wife on display.
The Georgian house and outbuildings are surrounded by vibrant herbaceous borders and lead into an orchard cum arboretum also on the river bank and into a walled garden planted in hot colours with an underfloor heated orangery. At the back of the walled garden is a substantial bat house. On the other side of the house sits a kitchen garden and beyond that a rose cutting cum vegetable garden.
Coleford House is less than half an hour away and lies opposite the Kings Head Pub in Lower Coleford with black wrought iron gates, just before the bridge over the river. Parking is in a field 200 metres away but drops-off are possible.
£10 per person to include refreshments.
Everyone welcome.
