点评:Chastleton isn’t open every day, so check before travelling. It’s well worth a visit and we thoroughly enjoyed the two hours we spent there. Make sure to follow the brown NT signs so as not to end up in the village of the same name. Plenty of free parking with some picnic benches. Once through the visitor reception area, there is a short walk beside a field to reach the entrance. Lots of benches to rest on and enjoy the view. An informative video in the stable block gives you a glimpse of what to expect inside the house. It’s being maintained using controlled conservation, which makes it feel, in some rooms, as if the last family to live there have just gone out for a while. The plasterwork and carved panelling are exceptional and appear to be in remarkably good condition considering the house was completed in 1612. It has a delightful, romantic atmosphere and we loved it.
The gardens are well looked after and still had plenty to admire at the time of our visit in October. Lots of veg too, along with fruit, a small orchard and some ancient looking topiary bushes.
There is no cafe on site, although on occasion the church next door (not NT) offers teas and cakes to boost funds. The church was open to us, but refreshments were not on offer, so there were some tea and biscuit options in the stable block, along with toilets.
It’s worth making the effort to visit Chastleton - we were enchanted with its pastoral setting and surprised at how much there is to see and admire there. The volunteers were also all very pleasant and knowledgeable, making it a memorable experience.
翻译:查斯尔顿并非每日开放,所以出行前请务必确认。这里非常值得一游,我们非常享受在那里度过的两个小时。请务必沿着棕色的NT标志行驶,以免误入同名村庄。这里有充足的免费停车位和一些野餐桌。穿过游客接待区后,沿着田野走一小段路即可到达入口。入口处有很多长椅可供休息和欣赏美景。马厩里播放着一段信息丰富的视频,让您可以一睹房屋内部的风采。房屋采用受控保护的维护方式,这使得在某些房间里,仿佛最后一个居住在那里的家庭刚刚离开一段时间。灰泥和雕花镶板非常精美,考虑到房屋于1612年竣工,保存状况相当完好。房屋氛围宜人浪漫,我们非常喜欢。
花园维护得很好,在我们十月份参观时,仍然有很多值得欣赏的地方。这里还有很多蔬菜和水果,还有一小片果园和一些看起来很古老的修剪灌木丛。
现场没有咖啡馆,不过隔壁的教堂(不是NT)偶尔会提供茶点和蛋糕来筹集资金。教堂对我们开放,但没有提供茶点,所以马厩里有一些茶和饼干可供选择,还有厕所。
查斯尔顿值得一游——我们被那里的田园风光所吸引,并对那里如此多的景点和欣赏之处感到惊讶。志愿者们也都非常友善,知识渊博,让这次经历难忘。
