Gate proceeds will be donated to
the Amber Foundation, which helps homeless unemployed young people,
whose lives are going nowhere to gain the motivation, confidence
and skills they need to get a job and accomodation and to be able
to keep them. Amber's residential centres offer these young people
a fresh start; a chance to sort out problems, build
self-confidence, gain practical skills and qualifications and
generally acquire the know how for independent living and work -
and more than 80% achieve this.

The Adwell Estate lies on ground sloping down from the Chiltern
Hills. This is a remote spot where an early traveller is said to
have heard the fairies singing around the Cop. The Saxons called it
Eadda's Well, and hence the name today. The garden was originally
laid out by the present owner's ancestors in the 19th
century, and over successive generations further developments, and
rationalisations, have taken place. The garden is fed by spring
water, and the water garden continues to be the major feature, with
magnificent trees dominating the lawns.
