Larch Cottage Nurseries in the village of Melkinthorpe near Penrith is as good as it gets. With Itallianate ruins, rare and unusual plants, stunning statues and a gorgeous wooden balcony you can eat your lunch on. CA10 2DR

The balcony where we had lunch, and a very refreshing Italian cider!
Some… pink flowers.
The statuary is of a much higher quality than the usual garden centre concrete tat.
Some orange… flowers.
Bullocks? No, I’m serious! – The Two Ronnies, circa 1974.
A range of, erm… flowers. (I don’t know much about flowers)
