On the Pilgrims' Lawn. The last part of the garden to be conceived before Lord Fairhaven's death, not completed until 1967. More informal groups than elsewhere in Fairhaven's garden, with the interest coming from the variety of colours and shapes in the planting, rather than from the geometry that predominates elsewhere. See set page for general history of Anglesey Abbey.
