点评:We visited late on a Saturday morning and the two car parks at the entrance of the village were almost full, so it’s obviously a popular place to visit. The streets are too narrow to park in so it’s worth waiting for a space in the car park.
The houses range in architectural styles from medieval to modern, so it’s interesting just to walk around the village. There are a number of independent shops, mostly high-end interiors/homeware, and a number of pubs and restaurants. These were all very busy when we visited, so we didn’t bother to eat there.
The main reason we visited was to visit Alfriston Clergy house, a National Trust property. This isn’t very well signposted so it’s worth knowing that it’s tucked away to the side of the church. When we visited, the orchard was flooded. Apparently, flooding is a common issue due to its position . The house is relatively bare but there is plenty of information about its history and renovation process and very informative guides to speak to. There was also apple tasting of the varieties they grow in the orchard when we visited.
Overall, the village is definitely worth a visit and worth spending a few hours pootling around.
翻译:我们周六早上晚些时候来到这里,村庄入口处的两个停车场几乎都停满了车,所以这里显然是一个很受欢迎的景点。街道太窄,无法停车,所以值得等待停车场的车位。
房屋的建筑风格从中世纪到现代,不一而足,所以在村子里走走很有趣。这里有许多独立商店,大多是高端室内装饰/家居用品,还有许多酒吧和餐馆。我们去的时候,这些地方都很忙,所以我们没有去那里吃饭。
我们来这里的主要原因是参观阿尔弗里斯顿牧师之家,这是一处国家信托财产。这里的路标不太好,所以值得一提的是,它藏在教堂的一侧。我们去的时候,果园被洪水淹没了。显然,由于它的位置,洪水是一个常见问题。房子相对简陋,但有很多关于它的历史和翻修过程的信息,还有非常有见识的导游。我们参观时,还品尝了果园里种植的各种苹果。
总的来说,这个村庄绝对值得一游,值得花几个小时四处闲逛。
