 in immediate relation to the house, but are charming in their 

 little side gardens and long and pretty borders and vistas, and 

 their delightful grass walks. The character, as we have said,

 gardens, and is very fresh and attractive. But much of 



the beauty of the place arises also from the abundance of fine 

 trees and shrubs, and the remarkable leafmess of the sur- 

 roundings. The colour effects in the autumn are superb, and 

 at a time when many gardens have lost their summer charm 

 that at Bulwick is still beautiful, owing to the well-chosen 

 variety of flowering plants that fill its beds and borders.
