Lovely gardens and old manor house, though the new country house is rundown
Belsay Hall Castle And Gardens的点评
点评:Three attractions in one!
1) A very rundown country house.
2) Beautiful Gardens
3) A lovely old manor house.
The Country house is an empty crumbling pile with plaster falling off the walls and gaping holes where damp as set in. Frankly, not very impressive.
But you wander from there through some lovely gardens set in a small quarry that was dug out to get the stone fro the house. Beautifully maintained and quite different, they are a joy to wander though. Finally, an old manor house with a small castle-like tower affording sweeping views across the countryside. (There's a kid-friendly 5-min animation running in the base of the ower that is well worth staying for).
An expensive visit (especially because of the need to pay separately for the car park - they've got lots of space so this felt like a rip-off), but it's a nice and varied afternoon.
翻译:三个景点合二为一!
1) 一栋破败的乡间别墅。
2) 美丽的花园
3) 一座可爱的古老庄园。
这栋乡间别墅如今已是一片空荡荡的摇摇欲坠的废墟,墙上的灰泥脱落,潮湿的墙体上布满了大洞。说实话,印象并不深刻。
不过,您可以从那里漫步穿过一些美丽的花园,这些花园坐落在一个小型采石场内,这个采石场是为了给别墅运石材而挖出来的。花园维护得非常好,风格各异,漫步其中令人心旷神怡。最后,您会看到一座古老的庄园,它有一座城堡般的小塔楼,可以一览乡村的壮丽景色。(庄园底部有一部适合儿童观看的5分钟动画片,非常值得一看)。
虽然花费不菲(尤其是因为需要单独支付停车费——他们有很多停车位,所以这感觉像是在敲诈别人),但这仍然是一个美好而丰富多彩的下午。
