Mottisfont Abbey
|
|
(19km/12m W of Winchester) Originally an Augustinian priory of about 1200, now mainly 18C in character, the house is known above all for the trees in its grounds (including a giant plane) and for a notable recent addition – a collection of old-fashioned roses in a walled garden, begun in 1972 and now unrivalled in its range of varieties.
