Garden of the King's Arms Hotel

This mediaeval walled garden, a quiet oasis just off busy Hide Hill Image, used to be a lovely place for a quiet drink or a meal on a sunny afternoon. Shortly before the hotel was sold to its current owners, all the interesting and established herbaceous borders - here we can see astilbe, geranium and herbs including marjoram and fennel - were ripped out and replaced with gaudy bedding-plants: following the sale (which if memory serves correctly was in late 2011), the hotel was closed for refurbishment and lots of building work went on, but to date it has not reopened to the public.
