A painting a week. Week 25

“River Avon at Little Durnford farm”

Salisbury is a beautiful cathedral city in Wiltshire. Home of the tallest cathedral spire in England and filled with history. We always enjoy a walk in or around Salisbury. From Salisbury, you can visit Old Sarum, or Stonehenge, or the wonderful surrounding countryside.

North from Salisbury, towards Stonehenge, hidden on the banks of river Avon is the Little Durnford farm.

Lovely gardens, a large walled garden, lawns, lake with islands and the banks of the river. Camels, alpacas, pigs, pigmy goats, sheep and donkeys are grazing next to the gardens.

The manor is not open to the public, but part of the farm, including the animals can be visited.

It is a long walk from Old Sarum, which we did, but can be accessed by car, with a car park not very far.

I painted this from a photo taken by me.
