Mottistone Manor
Mottistone Manor on the Isle of Wight is a charming manor house dating to medieval and Elizabethan times, set in a sheltered valley on the island's undulating southern downs. The gardens, developed in the 20th century by architect John Seely, are a delight of terraced herbaceous planting and productive grounds, with a wonderful organic kitchen garden. The nearby Longstone — a Neolithic standing stone — adds a further layer of ancient atmosphere.
