This small sheltered valley has been planted with groups of Japanese maples, North American maples and a number of Hamamelis x intermedia (Witch Hazel) cultivars for winter beauty.
In recent years there has been a fine display of Meconopsis spp. (Himalayan Poppies), Tulipa sprengeri which flowers in late spring, followed by Kirengeshoma palmata with pale yellow waxy flowers in late summer.
