Caerhays x 5

Posted by Robin on 30 April 2020 2 Comments

Caerhays Castle in Cornwall, normally open from February to June, has the largest collection of magnolias in the UK, and impressive collections of other flowering trees and shrubs as well. The current owner, Charles Williams, appears in a number of these videos; he also owns Burncoose Nurseries.
