The Formal Pond and Knot Garden in Barnsdale Gardens, Rutland, UK. The garden is designed around a large pond, which features four bronze statue fountains by British artist Lily Sawtell. The small box hedging in the garden has been 'knotted', and along with the pond design and seating, gives the garden an Italian feel.
