The Drive
It’s only right that we start with our drive, as the first area that you see on your very first visit to Hilltop. Tree-lined, with seasonal flowers that surround each side of the drive. Rustic benches dotted throughout, with a mixture of green lawns, stoned paths and wooden steps and gates. All with views overlooking the neighbouring fields, which may just be home to adorable sheep and lambs or cows. When shooting down the drive, you really do look like you’re in the midst of a fabulous forest. Also, down the drive is Hilltop’s swing—a fun addition to the day and an entertaining shot to add to your photo collection.
The Parterre
The secret garden! Through a little passageway, you will find a hidden gem of a photo spot—the parterre with triangular manicured lawns and a stoned path leading to our pagoda.
