If ever there was a plant so intrinsically linked with English architecture, it is ivy. Abundantly green and voracious, ivy can climb and cover walls like no other climber, making it perfect for covering any ugly walls or fences. This traditional English pub in the heat of a village goes all out and shows the beautiful harmony that can exist between ivy and architecture.

Though the odd peek shows that perhaps this building is gifted with beautiful authentic Tudor architecture, and therefore does not need to hide any displeasing architecture, the ivy has been set free to creep and climb all over the facade, while windows, doors and roof have been purposefully manicured. 

As well as the stunning vivid greens and calm-inducing spread of nature, the ivy also soaks up harmful gasses from its road-side location – a perfect excuse. Extra pops of colour have been provided with the bright floral displays in hanging baskets and planters, added with the traditional wooden door and swing sign to prove (though it is difficult to doubt) that this is a delightfully traditional English pub.
