点评:I was lucky enough for the weather to be perfect for the 30 minute walk from the Glynde train station. But worth the walk to be hosted by a wonderful crew at Firle Place. HILLALRY was my guide---and she was excellent. Knowledgeable and fun to experience the history of the many generations of families who have created such a marvelous estate on 7,000 acres! You can see why the producers of the film "Emma" jumped at the chance to use this incredible place as the backdrop of their movie. The artwork in the house is nothing short of museum quality including masters. . My flight was postponed and used this opportunity as a 40 minute run off from Gatwick Airport on the Southern line rail service--all easy to do--but TAXI service can be difficult to arrange and expensive. Firle Place should work on an easy shuttle to train to make the entire trip as outstanding as the estate and its rolling grounds.
翻译:我很幸运,从格林德火车站步行30分钟就能到达,而且天气完美。但为了在弗尔庄园受到热情周到的接待,这趟步行绝对值得。我的向导是希拉里,她非常棒。她知识渊博,而且风趣幽默,带领我了解了这片占地7000英亩的庄园里,几代家族世代传承的历史,以及他们如何打造出如此宏伟的家园!难怪电影《爱玛》的制片人会如此青睐这里,选择这里作为电影的取景地。庄园里的艺术品堪称博物馆级别,其中不乏大师之作。我的航班延误了,于是我利用这个机会,从盖特威克机场搭乘南部线火车,40分钟就抵达了庄园——一切都很顺利——但出租车服务却很难安排,而且价格昂贵。弗尔庄园应该考虑开通便捷的火车站接驳车,让整个旅程都像庄园及其绵延起伏的土地一样令人难忘。
