点评:It was my first visit to this castle and it really surpassed my expectations. I arrived at 10:30 and there was plenty of car parking all well signed. I had my Rab fleece on, soft shell trousers and Salomon cross trainers on. I was prepared for a lot of walking. There was a coach load of visitors just ahead of me, so I walked briskly to bypass the lot of them. No need as the museum and galleries didn’t open till 11 am!
As you’d expect in a National Trust site, there’s lots of immaculately kept gardens, grounds and they’re very informative. Staff are dedicated and delighted to share the history and details of the castle. Fiona was very wonderful to chat to in the museum section devoted to Indian artefacts and history.
The weather unfortunately was foggy but you still had spectacular views of the grounds, lake and the flowers, hedges and autumnal trees that masqueraded throughout. No photography is permitted inside the castle itself which is a shame. I spent a little under three hours here and enjoyed every minute. A must see spot if you’re in the vicinity.
翻译:这是我第一次参观这座城堡,它真的超出了我的预期。我10:30到达,那里有很多停车位,而且都有清晰的指示牌。我穿着Rab羊毛衫、软壳裤和Salomon交叉训练鞋。我做好了要走很多路的准备。前面刚好有一车游客,所以我快步走,避开了他们。其实没必要,因为博物馆和美术馆要到上午11点才开门!
正如你对国家信托机构的期望,这里有很多精心维护的花园和庭院,而且信息量很大。工作人员非常敬业,很乐意分享城堡的历史和细节。在博物馆专门展示印度文物和历史的区域,Fiona非常热情地与你聊天。
不幸的是,天气有雾,但你仍然可以欣赏到庭院、湖泊以及遍布城堡的鲜花、树篱和秋叶的壮丽景色。城堡内部禁止拍照,这很遗憾。我在这里待了不到三个小时,每一分钟都很享受。如果你在附近,这里是必看景点。
