Beautiful Gardens, Declining Estate, No Café
Hestercombe Gardens的点评
点评：Hestercombe Gardens remain beautiful and extensive, and I’ve enjoyed many visits over the years.
The house once featured excellent art and photography exhibitions, but I didn’t renew my membership this year due to noticeable decline.
During my final year, the gift shop relocated, the cafe closed and there were no new exhibitions. The estate looked increasingly neglected—shuttered windows with weeds behind the glass, broken features like the turbine generator and AV tunnel display, and long-closed upper estate paths.
The much-loved self-service café, once offering quick drinks and snacks, has been replaced by a gift shop. The remaining restaurant is overpriced and inefficient for a simple coffee stop.
I understand funding may be limited as a charitable trust, but the absence of a basic café is a missed opportunity. Hosting exhibitions by local artists, college art departments and photographic clubs could revive interest and enhance the visitor experience.

翻译：赫斯特科姆花园依然美丽而广阔，这些年来我多次造访，乐在其中。
花园曾举办过精彩的艺术和摄影展览，但由于规模明显萎缩，我今年没有续订会员资格。
在我最后一年，礼品店搬迁了，咖啡馆关门了，也没有新的展览。庄园看起来越来越荒废——百叶窗紧闭，玻璃后面杂草丛生，涡轮发电机和AV隧道显示屏等设施破损不堪，庄园上层的小路也早已关闭。
备受喜爱的自助咖啡馆曾经提供快餐和小吃，现在已被一家礼品店取代。剩下的餐厅价格过高，而且作为一家简单的咖啡店，效率低下。
我理解作为慈善信托基金，资金可能有限，但缺少一家基础的咖啡馆确实错失良机。举办当地艺术家、大学艺术系和摄影俱乐部的展览可以重新激发人们的兴趣，提升游客体验。
