Late Summer Colour in Wiltshire 25/08/2011 Late summer colour is a particular feature of garden designer Lucinda Cookson's borders at the Manor House in Wiltshire. During September you'll find the garden at its most colourful. Throw in the beautiful landscape of the Chalke Valley, with its downs and meadows as a backdrop to the garden and it is well worth making the visit! Delicious home made teas on offer too!
