Banks of Elephants Ear at St Columb's House I enjoyed a fantastic dander around the gardens of St Columb's House in Churchill, just outside Letterkenny.
St Columb's is another one of the great gardens that make up the Donegal Garden Trail 2014. Now I roll with a camera phone...no fancy camera for me...so my camera in no way captures the magnificent array of specimen and unusual trees which make up the grounds, so I'll leave that part for you to explore when you visit...but here's a selection of some of the sights which caught my eye on my recent visit....
