点评:Having lived on the Isle of Wight for many years, we had never visited Farringford. We were extremely impressed with the gardens. Everything in the walled garden is very new and extremely well maintained. The woodland walk is about half a mile and easy. . The house wasn’t open, but we knew this before we visited. However, the restoration exhibition was just amazing. To see how the house has changed over the centuries up to present day was extremely interesting and the present owners have done a fantastic job as far as we could see. What was amazing was the removal of Fred Pontin’s holiday cottages and the re-installation of the walled Garden. One would never know that all the holiday cottages had been pulled down. This whole thing must’ve been an incredible project and the owners are to be congratulated.
The lady on the ticket desk was very welcoming and we were very impressed with the laminated garden map instead of a paper leaflet. What a good idea. We really enjoyed our afternoon.
翻译:我们在怀特岛生活多年,从未去过法林福德。我们对那里的花园印象深刻。围墙花园里的一切都很新,而且维护得非常好。林间步道大约半英里,很容易走。房子当时没有开放,但我们在参观之前就知道了。然而,修复展览令人惊叹不已。看到房子几个世纪以来的变化至今,非常有趣,而且就我们所知,现在的主人做得非常出色。更令人惊叹的是拆除了弗雷德·庞廷的度假小屋,重新安装了围墙花园。人们永远不会知道所有的度假小屋都被拆除了。这整个工程一定非常了不起,值得向业主们表示祝贺。
售票处的女士非常热情,我们对塑封的花园地图而不是纸质宣传单印象深刻。真是个好主意。我们非常享受这个下午。
