Kent, England: Walmer Castle Gardens

Posted on August 10, 2011 | Leave a comment

After the incredible seaview in St Magaret’s Bay, let’s discover the fantastic of Walmer Castle. I feel being in “Alice in Wonderland”! My favorite garden (picture above), “The Oval Lawn”, with really old trees is a great place for reading, next to “Broadwalk”, a beautiful alley (picture below and picture 3). Each garden is amazing, offering a particular atmosphere. A magic and beautiful and relaxing!

Picture 5 : “The Kitchen Garden“. In the background, you can find in the eastern glasshouse many different plants and ferns (picture below). A pleasure for the eyes.

Last picture : a kind of paradise, one single amchair lost in the middle of a unique greenery… And the road movie continues, next stop : Sandwich!

Kent, Angleterre: Walmer Castle, les jardins

Posted on August 10, 2011 | Leave a comment

Après un vivifant bol d’embruns à St Magaret’s Bay, voici un magnifique bain de verdure : les fameux jardins de Walmer Castle. On se croirait dans “Alice au Pays des Merveilles”! Mon jardin préféré (photo ci-dessus), “The Oval Lawn” (la pelouse ovale), où l’on trouve les arbres les plus anciens et un superbe et fantasque taillis comme séparation avec le “Broadwalk” (photo ci-dessous et photo 3). D’un jardin à l’autre, on va de surprise en surpise, d’un univers et d’une ambiance à l’autre. C’est un peu magique, très beau et apaisant!

Photo 5 : “The Kitchen Garden” (le potager). Dans le fond, la serre emplie de différentes variétés de plantes et fougères (photos ci-dessous). Un régal pour les yeux.

Dernière photo : le petit coin de paradis, un fauteuil perdu dans un jardin “nature”, le jardin anglais tel qu’on se l’imagine… Le road movie continue, prochain arrêt Sandwich!

The Bell Hotel in Sandwich

Posted on August 9, 2011 | Leave a comment

After visiting the stonished gradens of Walmer Castel, direction The Bell Hotel in Sandwich. I was looking for my way, when an inhabitant answered me “Oh the the posh hotel…”. Three quarts later (joking), I discover my comfortable single room : sober and relaxing with a good soundproofing. The small bathroom doesn’t have any bath, but the shower is impeccable. The hotel is made of different old houses, linked by a maze of scales and corridors leading to the guests rooms. So better not bringing heavy luggages! I suddenly woke up to have dinner in The Bell Hotel’s restaurant : very good cooking (excellent fish). And last not least, the detail that makes the difference : the kindness of the staff.
