Rill
This beautiful water feature can be seen just as you leave the Visitor Centre to start your tour of the Garden. By definition, a rill is a woman/man-made garden canal that
creates garden ambiance through the pleasant sound of moving water. The earliest style of rill was found in ancient Persian gardens, but perhaps the most famous are
in the Moorish Alhambra Gardens in Granada, Spain. The rill was a popular water feature of Edwardian garden design and often used by Gertrude Jeckyll, one of
England’s most famous garden designers.
