The Camomile Lawn

Join five privileged cousins on their one last visit to their uncle?s seaside home before World War II. As they frolic on his fragrant lawn and tempt fate above the Cornish cliffs, they can?t imagine how dramatically their lives are about to change. Felicity Kendal (Rosemary & Thyme, Good Neighbors) and Paul Eddington (Yes Minister, Good Neighbors) reunite to entertain you in this darkly humorous drama of life and love among the leisured class. The exceptional cast includes Jennifer Ehle (Pride and Prejudice) and Tara Fitzgerald (The Virgin Queen, The Woman in White). Based on the novel by Mary Wesley and sumptuously adapted by Ken Taylor, the genius behind The Jewel in the Crown and The Duchess of Duke Street. Recommended for mature viewers.

Camomile lawns grow low naturally and smell delightful when you walk on them. They were quite the rage on English estates before the invention of the hand-push lawn mower in 1830.
