It’s June and another 30 day challenge from Becky. ‘The Life of B’ This month she is looking for a roof or roofs or even rooves. Follow the link for the rules.
An unexpected find in the rolling Cotswold countryside near Moreton-in-Marsh is this 200-year-old Mogul Indian palace, set in a romantic landscape of temples, grottoes, waterfalls and canals reminiscent of the Taj Mahal. Visit Earth Laughs in Flowers for more photos of the building and grounds.

I have been to Moreton many times, but never discovered this. A great find indeed, Jude.
Best wishes, Pete. x
It came up when I searched for gardens in the area. Not open all the time and the access is quite hidden.
As kids we used to call such towers “onion towers”. Very interesting.
Yes! I had forgotten, but we did, too!
Well, what a find…the stone is all Cotswold…then you see the roof!
Yes, a gorgeous honey-coloured stone.
😊
I love Indian architecture! 🙂
I particularly like those peacock windows!
Most unexpected and most marvellous too!
Impressive house though we went mainly to see the gardens. Lovely inside too but more traditional.
Wouldn’t expect anything different (re visit purpose!!)
Fabulous!
Loved the gardens too. Very whimsical.
What a beautiful building! Did you go inside? I’m curious to know more about your visit.
How lovely! I’ve been to the Cotswolds many times (even lived there), but I had no idea about this.
Just came up by chance when searching for gardens in the area. Only open at certain times and not really easy to find.
Someone probably fell in love with India.
