TG0633 : Budding rhododendron
near to Hunworth, Norfolk, Great Britain

Budding rhododendron
In Stody Lodge Gardens.
Stody Lodge, as it stands today, was rebuilt by Lord Rothermere in the beginning of the 1930s; the original house had been damaged by a fire. The new house was not erected at the site of the old one; instead, a woodland was cleared to make room for the new Lodge and Gardens. The garden covers an area of 10 acres; its main feature is the collection of rhododendrons and azaleas, which is described as being one of the largest and most dramatic in East Anglia. Japanese Water Gardens were also created; these are located in the southwestern corner of Lodge Plantation, on the other side of the Holt Road. The water gardens are believed to have been planted with more than 2000 Azalea mollis. The gardens are open to the public on only six days per year, usually in May when the rhododendrons are at their best.
