...Similarly historical but recently restyled is the Duchess of Northumberland's extravagant garden at Alnwick, Northumberland, pictured, which boasts the world's largest tree house and a poison garden, alnwickgarden.com. For English eccentricity at its best, visit filmmaker Derek Jarman's strange but enchanting garden on the shingle beach in Dungeness, Kent.

Standing on the beach holding a white peace flag while waiting for the virgins to arrive by sea, she says she is in charge of preparing food, water and refuge in the case of an invasion...
...After a half an hour delay reported by journalists on the boats, the virgins were eventually transported to the beach, where community members planned to carry them clandestinely to Venezuelan troops dressed as civilians so they could fight enemy troops invading their communities.
