What I immediately loved about the gardens is the whimsy and charm. The style is much less formal, then, say, Longwood and there is a playfulness about it. For instance, as we looked into the depths of the pond, we gasped to see a sculpture submerged beneath its dark waters! So many surprises like this to discover at every turn!
Come along and I’ll show you around:The main family home is on the left. To the right is the Elevated Walkway.
There are large chairs and places to sit and enjoy the view in many places throughout the grounds.
“Chanticleer” is a name given to a rooster, especially in fairy tales, and so you can find many rooster images throughout the grounds.
I’d like to have a tool shed like this!
I hope you enjoyed this little tour of Chanticleer and if you are within driving distance, you will visit for yourself!
