Sheepwash Devon hotels:

Incredible Victorian walled garden designed for the exotics of yesteryear, currently being restored for the exotics of today. One acre garden boasting features not included in gardens many, many times its size. State of the art Victorian greenhouses in teak. Planting reflects passionate interest in Fuchsias and exotics interspersed with herbaceous plants. Covered exhibition area detailing extensive history. Guided group tours, also talks to clubs by appointment. The garden formed part of a large country estate and contains a number of unique features which show Victorian horticultural ingenuity and workmanship at its very best. Work began around 1883 and by the time it was completed Winsford could boast over 500 linear feet of state-of-the-art greenhouses. The original garden owner's family can be traced back to the Cornish artist Henry Bone (1755-1834), through the Great Victorian Big Game hunter Capt. F. C. Selous, friends of whom include US President Theodore Roosevelt.
