点评:I am fairly local to Corsham Court, yet, am an 'outdoors' person, preferring a dog walk through woodlands, by rivers.... Yet, decided given this venue also has the gardens I would also take in the house - briefly and take my time in the gardens. And was glad to have also visited the house; firstly the staff were super, friendly and very knowledgeable. There were helpful leaflets / map available too, with names of the paintings to be seen in each grand room, and I found the map of the gardens with numbered trees and their names very useful.
The painting collection is OUTSTANDING, and I feel a must see for art lovers. And I may even return to take more in of these masterpieces.
It appears that the new young owners of the vast property, are very 'hands on' and are making their mark on the place already with new projects, or restorative projects. And this new energy can only be good for this place moving forward.
I did spend plenty of time in the grounds. If you are a tree-lover you'll love the collection here, some incredibly old. The estate is home to a 250-year-old Oriental Plane that has the most spreading tree in the UK and is one of the largest in Europe. Where the branches touch the ground it has rooted. Makes a great and protective sleeping area for the peacocks, which were introduced to the estate way back (in the 18th Century I think). Enjoy your visit!
翻译:我住在科舍姆苑 (Corsham Court) 附近,但我本人是个“户外”爱好者,更喜欢在林间、河畔遛狗……不过,考虑到这里还有花园,我决定也去房子里逛逛——简短地逛逛,在花园里慢慢欣赏。我很高兴也参观了房子;首先,工作人员非常友好,知识渊博。他们还提供实用的宣传单/地图,上面标明了每个大房间里的画作名称。我发现花园地图上标有树木的编号和名称,非常实用。
画作收藏非常出色,我觉得艺术爱好者一定要去看看。我甚至可能会再回来欣赏更多杰作。
看来,这片广阔土地的新主人非常“亲力亲为”,并且已经通过新项目或修复项目在这里留下了自己的印记。这种新的活力对这里未来的发展必将大有裨益。
我确实在花园里待了很长时间。如果您是一位树木爱好者,您一定会爱上这里的树木,其中一些树龄非常久远。庄园里有一棵250年的东方悬铃木,它是英国枝蔓最茂盛的树种,也是欧洲最大的悬铃木之一。它的枝条触地的地方都扎了根。这棵树为孔雀提供了一个绝佳的睡眠区,孔雀很早就被引入庄园了(我记得是在18世纪)。祝您参观愉快!
