The National Trust Weir Garden

When I’m not writing and illustrating, you may find me at The Weir Garden.

The Weir Garden is a riverside garden in Swainshill, just a few minutes drive from Hereford.

It’s my zen space. A place to relax, be creative and recharge. Visitors describe it as ‘incredible’, ‘absolutely beautiful’, ‘stunning’.

It’s not your average National Trust property as there is no grand mansion. But the raw beauty of the gardens and parkland are breath taking.

I will be sharing its beauty on The Weir Garden Blog, so if you don’t get the chance to visit, you can immerse yourself in the pictures to your heart's delight.

It’s a real hidden gem, so don’t tell everyone about it, as they’ll all want to come!
