round about the gardens!









Above the waterfall is a path that leads to a much wider path.  About half a mile along this path are stairs with one rather inconvenient tree right in the middle.  Honestly!  Who plants such a big tree right in the middle of a perfectly good set of stairs!  












On the other side of the path was another set of stairs, leading to a secret little reflecting pond ... secret because no one else was there.










Ashley decided to become friends with this horse statue.  I just like the fact that he jumped with such effort over such a small stream.















The main path curves around and takes you to a maze.  Below the maze is this trough waterfall area.  This is actually a way down from the top of the area, so these troughs are all the way down.  














Right, so, what is probably pretty difficult to see is that this nude statue is pointing to her breast.  Ashley and Martin decided that it would be funny if Sarah and I did this.  At first, no one was around, but as soon as we climbed up to the top and posed, loads of people showed up ... of course!
