An underground room has been created in the garden of Kingstone Cottage (open under NGS), with this window opening out on a pond almost at water level. The large leaf belongs to a Gunnera species which is at home on the margins of water and produces spectacular foliage, as well as bottlebrush-like flower spikes.
