Chiswick House Gardens

i stumbled into this garden whilst trying to take a short cut to my friend’s house.
the majestic obelisk greets you as you enter via burlington lane gate.
imposing yet welcoming.
heading down the tree lined avenue towards the river.
the cool breeze and air was really refreshing.
the quiet sound of nature however gets disrupted every few minutes by the roaring sound of aircraft engines overflying.
the cricket ground on site, is a great place for getting a tan, letting the dogs and kids loose or just chilling out.
the river that runs through the gardens is full of wildlife, swans, ducks and even a crane.
then you come face to face with the elegant stone classic bridge which transports you back to 1774.
lots of work in progress evident all over the garden grounds.
fences, barricades and construction materials detracts from the peaceful tranquility.
this is part of 12.1m restoration project that will lasts till march 2010.
hopefully, by then, this garden can earn it’s fourth or fifth star.
