点评:We really enjoyed our day out at the charming Harewood House and gardens. The setting is beautiful — the grandeur of the house, the precision of the gardens, and the many scenic walking routes made for a really memorable day out.
To our surprise, the house was hosting an exhibition marking the 250th birthdays of the novelist Jane Austen and painter J. M. W. Turner. We got to see some of Turner's paintings of the house plus some first editions of Austen's novels which belong to the Harewood collection. The exhibition runs until 19 October 2025.
There's so much to see at Harewood. The gardens in front of the house are decorated with beautiful flowers. The Himalayan gardens were a highlight for me and a great adventure. The walled garden was also a treat.
We loved our day here. There's so much to do and even better to experience on a summer's day. The area is really accessible with plenty of toilets and a shuttle bus from the main house to the gates.
The pictures don't do Harewood justice — you have to visit for yourself!
Tip: if you travel by bus you can get 50% off admission. We took the number 36 bus from Leeds bus station and the stop is Harewood Arms. From there it's about 20 minutes by foot to the house.
翻译:我们在迷人的哈伍德庄园和花园度过了非常愉快的一天。庄园环境优美——庄园的宏伟气派、花园的精致考究以及众多风景优美的步行路线,共同构成了我们难忘的一天。
令我们惊喜的是,庄园正在举办一场展览,纪念小说家简·奥斯汀和画家J. M. W. 特纳诞辰250周年。我们欣赏到了特纳为庄园创作的一些画作,以及一些奥斯汀小说的初版,它们都属于哈伍德庄园的藏品。展览将持续到2025年10月19日。
哈伍德庄园有很多值得一看的地方。庄园前的花园里鲜花盛开,美不胜收。喜马拉雅花园对我来说是一大亮点,也是一次奇妙的探险。围墙花园也令人赏心悦目。
我们非常喜欢在这里度过的一天。这里有很多活动可以体验,在夏日里体验更是锦上添花。这里交通便利,有很多卫生间,还有从主屋到大门的班车。
照片无法展现哈伍德庄园的魅力——您一定要亲自去看看!
小贴士:如果您乘坐巴士,门票可享五折优惠。我们从利兹巴士站乘坐36路巴士,停靠站是哈伍德武器酒店 (Harewood Arms)。从那里步行约20分钟即可到达庄园。
