After all the rain we've been having of late, we felt in need of some fresh air in a beautiful spot so we headed for the GoRgEoUs Hinton Ampner not too far from Winchester.
Apologies for the photo quality, they were taken with the iphone.
A bit grey and chilly but it was lovely to get out!
Amazing Dahlias
Stunning little church within the grounds
Gates at every turn
