PGG visit to Yewbarrow House
Overlooking the huge sweep of sand and sea known as Morecambe Bay sits a Victorian house that looks as if it has
been wrapped in a protective blanket of green trees and shrubs. On closer inspection, the planting is revealed as something a little bit different. It is exotic, lush, bold, architectural and colourful. Yewbarrow House is the home of hoteliers, gardeners and farmers Jonathan and Margaret Denby. They run three hotels in the Lake District, but Yewbarrow House is their home, and the garden is Jonathan’s relatively recent passion.
PGG visit to Matson Ground
Matson Ground is a privately owned estate with over 1000 acres in the heart of the Lake District, only a short distance from Lake Windermere.
