Excellent English country home and parkland with incredible history and art
Knole - National Trust的点评
点评:Knole is located near the centre of Sevenoakes, 5 minutes from the A21, 40 minutes from London. There is an obscured entrance as you drive into Sevenoakes. The park drive entrance is however marked which leads you to a gatehouse where you pay for parking (free with National Trust membership). Couple minutes drive through the beautiful estate parkland with deer to be seen all around. Parking right next to house. Separate payment for tour of the tower (very interesting tour of the last Dukes living quarters and fascinating life…not suitable for less abled visitors with over 70 very steep stone steps to the tower roof…with great views of the house and park). The main house is extensive with a fantastic collection of paintings and restored bed chambers. There are super informative guides in each room along with fact sheets as well as bilingual headset guides. Stunning restoration of this stately home with incredible royal linked history and wealth. There are two excellent shops with high quality books and gifts as well a very good cafe. The park is also a great day out for walks, wildlife and picnics. There are also lots of additional activities and events fur children (really well done Peter Rabbit trail at tine if visit). Excellent English countryside day out, highly recommended.
翻译:诺尔庄园位于塞文诺克斯中心附近,距A21高速公路5分钟车程,距伦敦40分钟车程。驾车进入塞文诺克斯时,入口不太显眼。公园大道入口有标识,可通往门房,需付费停车(国民托管组织会员免费)。驱车几分钟即可穿过美丽的庄园绿地,周围随处可见鹿群。庄园就在房子旁边。塔楼游览需另付费(参观最后几任公爵的住所和精彩的人生经历非常有趣……不适合行动不便的游客,因为通往塔顶的石阶超过70级,非常陡峭……可以欣赏到庄园和公园的美景)。主屋面积宽敞,收藏了大量精美的绘画作品和修复后的卧室。每个房间都配有信息丰富的导游、资料单以及双语耳机导游。这座庄严的庄园修复得令人惊叹,它与皇室有着深厚的历史渊源和丰富的财富。庄园内有两家很棒的商店,出售高品质的书籍和礼品,还有一家很棒的咖啡馆。公园也是散步、观赏野生动物和野餐的好去处。这里还有很多适合孩子们的额外活动(如果去的话,彼得兔小径非常棒)。非常棒的英式乡村一日游,强烈推荐。
