Leypits
This 1½ acres garden has been created over the last 12 yrs from an impenetrable overgrown woodland by its lady owner. It is a garden of trees, rock and water which has been replanted with many choice rhododendrons, azaleas, hydrangeas and woodland plants whilst trying to keep its wild atmosphere. Long distance views towards Lake Windermere and the Lakeland fells have been rediscovered.
