Oak Tree Cottage – the venue

The course is being held at Oak Tree Cottage, 12kms along the Dargle Road, in the beautiful Dargle, on a 107 year-old, 5-acre property that has a well-established English woodland garden… old, established London Planes, Oaks, Liquid Ambers, Pin-oaks, a giant Persian Ironwood, a 30m tall Jacaranda, and numerous Celtis trees linked by old azalea and rhododendron bushes, and lots of beautiful lichen and moss, and jasmine… old wrought-iron gates, and large mossy terracotta pots covered in ivy. Surrounded by dairy farms, the property is a visual Smörgåsbord ranging from wide landscape shots to rich close-up details. There is also Barry’s blacksmithing workshop to add some unusual opportunities for photography.
