On the bridleway towards Ilgar's Manor Some of the buildings at Ilgar's Farm and Ilgar's Manor both on Willow Grove/Creephedge Lane can be seen. 
Compared to the other shots from contributors taken five plus years ago, much more in the way of shrubby vegetation and trees is apparent - especially on the north side of the bridleway where a broad strip has been planted.

Fox Sculpting, RHS Garden Hyde Hall This fox sculpting is one of eleven life-size animal sculptures created by Susan Bacon and Marcus Cornish currently dotted around the Dry Garden and which were inspired by Aesop’s Fables. Aesop was a storyteller who lived in ancient Greece, and over the years, his stories have been reinterpreted in many different ways, but they remain as fresh and poignant today as they were to the Ancient Greeks. Each sculpting is set in a dramatic location. Susan Bacon studied sculpture and drawing at the City and Guilds Art School and the Royal Academy, and is based in the East of England. Marcus Cornish trained at the Royal College of Art and now practises from his studio in Sussex. Both artists have taught at the Royal Drawing School, a not-for-profit educational organisation

RHS Hyde Hall - Millennium Avenue Envisaged in the original RHS master plan for Hyde Hall was a stately boulevard of oak and ash running from east to west.  Keeping the oak trees healthy has proved challenging, but the ash trees have flourished.  A copper beech sits at one end of the avenue, while at the other is an English oak, planted to commemorate The Queen’s 90th birthday.

RHS Hyde Hall - Upper Pond When Helen and Dick Robinson purchased the land at Hyde Hall in the 1950s, renovation of the pond in front of the farmhouse was their first major construction project.
