I just found the rose garden in my college. I always knew we had one, and had a vague idea of where it might be, but today was the 1st time I've been in.
It was quiet and beautiful. There was a rectangular pond with a broken fountain in it, meaning the water had gone green and murky, but even in there a lotus flower had grown and bloomed. There were archways of roses, cast iron gates and high stone walls covered in climbers. I felt like I was in the secret garden.

We also went into a staircase that looked like it had been part of a house at some point in the past. It was so still inside, with large empty corridors and old door frames; slightly faded decor like no one saw the point in re-doing an old place like that. We found a window and stared out, discovering it looked out onto the master's garden and was ajoined to his house, we could even see in some of the windows and the grand tables and interior. It was like being transported back 100 years, we think that staircase was probably the servants quarters when they had full time servants. Someone then started playing classical music on the piano in the music room there...definitely added to the atmosphere :)
