\n\tBeleura’s landscape unfolds from one garden into another to create a lively sense of theatre and a key to its past.<\/p>\n
A long driveway entering Beleura through its outer grounds, the many huge specimen trees and a rear stone courtyard are all original features of this nineteenth century seaside garden.<\/p>\n
