Painshill Park, Surrey

I pass Painshill Park every time I go clothes shopping at Cobham, Surrey. Finally, we made the trip to this 18th century landscape garden, complete with beautiful lake, artfully crafted views and romantic follies. It was such a pleasant voyage of discovery: at every turn, breathtaking new vistas and romantic follies appeared.

The Crystal Grotto.
Crystals had been painstakingly applied to ceiling and walls of the Grotto.
It must be some spectacle when sufficient light is shed on the crystals.
