Bampton in Bloom: Visit to the Eden Project
It is a bit over 100 miles to St Austell where the Eden Project is located,
and we went on a very wet day in November 2000.
|
Although much of the project was still
a building site, the sheer scale of the enterprise was breathtaking
- far more impressive than photos or TV can show. |
|
The visitor centre was excellent - an interesting exhibition,
works of art, an educational video, a restaurant and a shop - and
of course you can buy plants. |
|
|
Taking the 'train' to get a closer look at the biodomes
was quite an experience and a trifle damp - and not everyone looked
at their best in a hard hat! |
The next visit was in March 2001 in the first week of
the project being fully open. For some pictures of that event, click here.
