Forester's Cottage garden Curiously, the garden of Forester's Cottage (to the right of the road) has been extended onto the other side of the road and includes a narrow strip on the roadward side of the plantation wall. This strip of garden is just wide enough to accommodate a greenhouse and the washing.
