This is something new to me. I was mooching about on Google Earth and decided to have a look at one of the RHS gardens (Hyde Hall). Don't know what made me do it but i selected Street-view and it highlighted not just the roads in the area but most of the paths around the garden itself, meaning i could take a tour around the garden (which i have never seen). Intrigued i looked in turn at the other RHS gardens and found the same thing; the majority of each garden can now be viewed on Street-view.
I then started looking at other gardens to see what others might be covered. Bit hit and miss as there seems no way you can find out which ones have been filmed for street-view and which haven't. Kew Gardens (as you might expect) have been covered in detail and i have just found out that the landscape gardens of Stowe and Studley Royal/Fountains Abbey have been done. Surprisingly Stourhead hasn't, nor have some of the other Botanic Gardens in the country.
I was wondering if anyone else has come across this and can share with us which gardens they have 'visited' on Street-view?
Oh that's cool!
I just spent a while having a virtual tour of Kew. It even let me into the Palm House for a mooch. :glasses9:
Thanks for that. :-)
