点评:We were on the way south. Always wanted to have a look at "Rosings Park" from Pride and Prejudice 1995. Because the Belton Estate was used as Rosings there.
We didn't expect it to be that huge and with gardens and parks of this immense size! The parking lot already was massive, and quite full, but with spaces left in the very back. A nice walk along the trees brought us to the Belton House.
Inside there are many rooms to explore, one I remembered even from the TV show, where Lady Catherine de Bourgh and the Bennets often met.
Belton House was built between 1685 and 1687 by Sir John Brownlow. For about three centuries until 1984, Belton House was the seat of the Brownlow family. However, the financial difficulties were too great and in 1984 they donated the house, with most of its contents, to the National Trust.
It's been used - as mentioned - as a filming location. But also civil weddings can be held here.
The gardens and parkland are impressive and go as far as you can see. There's wildlife as well. A shop, café, food stalls. A big playground with games for the kids. There's just something for everybody. Be it to visit the house, to come and play, to have a picnic or just to have a nice walk on the grounds. The gardens in the back you shouldn't miss. Very pretty with a beautiful fountain at its centre.
Really a wonderful visit. And dogs are welcome as well (except in the House of course).
翻译:我们当时正往南走。一直想去看看1995年电影《傲慢与偏见》里的“罗辛斯庄园”,因为贝尔顿庄园就是电影里罗辛斯庄园的取景地。
我们没想到它竟然这么大,花园和公园的面积也如此广阔!停车场已经很大,几乎停满了车,不过最里面还有空位。沿着树林漫步,我们来到了贝尔顿庄园。
庄园里有很多房间可以参观,其中一个房间我甚至在电视剧里就见过,凯瑟琳·德·伯格夫人和班纳特一家经常在那里见面。
贝尔顿庄园由约翰·布朗洛爵士于1685年至1687年间建造。在长达三个世纪的时间里,直到1984年,贝尔顿庄园一直是布朗洛家族的府邸。然而,由于财政困难,他们在1984年将庄园及其大部分藏品捐赠给了国民信托。
正如前面提到的,这里曾被用作电影拍摄地。这里也承办民事婚礼。
花园和公园绿地令人印象深刻,一眼望不到边。这里还有野生动物。此外,还有商店、咖啡馆、小吃摊,以及一个带儿童游戏设施的大型游乐场。每个人都能在这里找到乐趣。无论是参观宅邸、玩耍、野餐,还是在园内漫步,这里都能满足你的需求。千万不要错过后花园,它非常漂亮,中心还有一个美丽的喷泉。
这真是一次美妙的体验。而且,这里也欢迎狗狗(当然,宅邸内除外)。
