点评:Our visit was only to the house and we very much enjoyed our time there. Blickling comes as a bit of a surprise as one heads north from Aylsham, as there is little to broadcast its presence. One looks to the right, and suddenly there it is, beautifully framed by its massive, manicured hedges and impressive side buildings. Much of its current design dates from the early 1600s when it replaced the home of Anne Boleyn’s birth (and apparently her ghost still returns to visit each year on the anniversary of her execution). Inside, the house is filled with many magnificent portraits, with the baleful one-eyed glare of Field Marshall Sir Robert Rich greeting the visitor just inside the front door. On the ground floor the dining room, with its massive mantlepiece, is magnificent, and one can learn about the restoration of beautifully painted Victorian ceiling in the Brown Drawing room. Upstairs, the late 18th Century yellow and black Print Room is fascinating, but it is the plaster ceilings in the Long Gallery, South Drawing Room and the tapestry-decorated Upper Ante Room that are truly spectacular. Be sure to look up, as well as learn how the huge plaster pendant in the latter room has recently been preserved (Blickling has been at the forefront of pioneering new conservation methods). Finished with the house and looking for something else? There is the great little Royal Air Force Oulton Museum onsite, which shows how this stately old home supported local World War 2 efforts. Practical info: The Blickling car park is a good size, with overflow parking to the northwest. Two cafés are in close proximity to the house, and The Bucks Arms, with its pub, restaurant, and accommodation is located just off the car park. One may also take home a taste of Blicking, as some Walled Garden produce is available at a donation station by the welcome office. Allow 2-2.5 hours to visit the house, and add another 30-45 minutes for the RAF museum.
翻译:我们只参观了房子,在那里度过了非常愉快的时光。从艾尔舍姆向北走,布利克林庄园略显意外,因为几乎没有什么地方能彰显它的存在。向右望去,它便映入眼帘,被修剪整齐的粗犷树篱和令人印象深刻的侧楼完美地框在了一起。庄园目前的设计很大程度上可以追溯到17世纪初,当时它取代了安妮·博林的出生地(而且据说她的鬼魂每年都会在她被处决的周年纪念日回来探望)。房子里挂满了许多精美的肖像画,陆军元帅罗伯特·里奇爵士那阴险的独眼目光正从前门进来迎接来访者。一楼的餐厅有着巨大的壁炉架,富丽堂皇,在布朗的客厅里,人们可以了解到维多利亚时代精美彩绘天花板的修复过程。楼上,18 世纪晚期的黄黑色版画室令人着迷,但真正令人叹为观止的是长廊、南客厅和装饰着挂毯的上层前厅的石膏天花板。一定要抬头看看,了解后一个房间里巨大的石膏吊坠最近是如何保存的(布利克灵一直处于开拓新保护方法的前沿)。看完房子后还在寻找其他东西?现场有一座很棒的皇家空军奥尔顿博物馆,展示了这座庄严的老房子如何支持当地的二战努力。实用信息:布利克灵停车场面积很大,西北方向有溢流停车位。房子附近有两家咖啡馆,而拥有酒吧、餐厅和住宿的 Bucks Arms 就在停车场旁边。您还可以带些布利克灵的味道回家,因为在接待处旁边的捐赠站有一些 Walled Garden 的农产品。参观这座房子需要 2-2.5 小时,参观英国皇家空军博物馆则需要 30-45 分钟。
