Abbey House Gardens - Knot Garden
The Gardens
One interesting feature is the Knot Garden, an arrangement of formal beds about a well, shaped like a Celtic cross (see photo), in imitation of St Martins cross on Iona. It is rumoured that a Celtic monk from Iona was responsible for founding the Abbey at Malmesbury. Equally unusual is the Dinosaur Grove, planted with trees that prospered when dinosaurs lived. The extensive rose beds echo the style popular in Tudor times.
