VIEWS// from all around 👀I never tire of this view and this is what will greet you as you park up and make your way down our lavender path. #downhamhall #downhamhallessex #wheatfields #countryside #essexcountryside #essex #visitessex #fields #boutiquevenue #greatviews #panormicviews #rollinghills #greenfields #lucky #grateful #lovethisplace #noplacelikehome
GARDEN VIEWS// From the back of the Hall, marquee and over to the north wing grounds. The longer explanation: There was originally a swimming pool here when we first arrived over four years ago but with maintenance, costs and the worry of how we manage the pool safely, it was filled in 😢 The pool was just beyond the gravel and our toilet block was once a wash room. When we first started work, this whole area was a mud bath where we filled in, excavated and flattened the ground. This was around the time we first did our sow rounds and couples had to see beyond the mess to the vision that was just that 👏 It is now looking very pretty and the bulbs Andrew planted over a year ago are coming up and really flourishing. There is always more to do and some of our trees we have had inspected have not made the cut (sorry!), as time goes by I am sure we will be adding to this area.
