Devil’s Chimney
If you listen closely (and don’t mind a scary tale or two), you’ll hear local legends speak of a mysterious landmark representing the chimney of the Devil’s underground dwelling. Those rattled by the tale can be found leaving a coin on top of the rock – a payment in return for a promise: to remain in his home, and refrain from spreading evil and mischief throughout the local area. But that’s just a rumour, and you have nothing to worry about… right?
Colesbourne Gardens
Rebirth, hope, innocence, renewal.These are just a few of the common associations with the gorgeous snowdrops, often seen as the first whispers of spring. Colesbourne Gardens is England’s premier place to witness these fragile – yet lovely – flowers in bloom, with over three hundred varieties enthralling visitors throughout the season. Their open days, guided tours and study days offer opportunities to bask in the beauty up close.
