Next was a visit to Mount Wilson, a hamlet about half an hour away from Blackheath. It’s known for its gardens, and the tour buses were out in force on the main street and the bigger gardens. I chose to visit Windy Ridge Garden, which was away from the main drag.

The garden was superbly landscaped though, with a pond and formal gardens.

There were places to sit.

And of course some autumn foliage to view.

I liked how it was quiet and private and beautiful. Worth a visit.
