点评:First visit to Wallingford Hall and we decided to make the detour on a hospital visit to the North East.
Arriving from Hexham end, we barely saw another car on the empty Northumberland roads off the main road from Hexham to Wallington.
It was actually pretty weird. This place is only about 20 miles from Newcastle but feels quite remote.
The building itself looks small from the outside and a bit dull but inside there is so much to uncover, explore, discover and wonder at.
The central atrium style square with balconies was unexpected and opened the hall out somewhat and added light and dimension. It was italian style.
There are not that many rooms to look at but it feels as if there is, if this makes sense?
We spent much longer in here than we usually do at many NT properties.
Lovely grounds to walk around and the walled garden too.
Nice spacious courtyard with shop and cafe and toilets.
One of the more different properties inside that the NT has that I have visited and very much recommend a visit.
Staff and volunteers all very helpful and friendly and not intrusive at all.
翻译:这是我们第一次来沃灵福德庄园,我们决定在去东北部医院就诊的途中顺道来这里看看。
从赫克瑟姆方向过来,我们在从赫克瑟姆到沃灵福德的主干道旁空旷的诺森伯兰郡道路上几乎没看到其他车辆。
这感觉真的挺奇特的。这里距离纽卡斯尔只有大约20英里,却感觉很偏僻。
从外面看,这座建筑本身很小,也略显沉闷,但里面却有很多值得探索、发现和惊叹的地方。
中央中庭式的广场和阳台的设计出乎意料,让整个大厅显得更加开阔,也增添了光线和层次感。这是意大利风格。
房间不多,但感觉却很多,不知道你能不能理解我的意思?
我们在这里停留的时间比平时参观其他国家名胜古迹要长得多。
庄园周围环境优美,非常适合散步,还有围墙花园。
宽敞的庭院里有商店、咖啡馆和洗手间。
这是我参观过的国家信托旗下众多景点中最具特色的景点之一,强烈推荐大家去看看。
工作人员和志愿者都非常热情友好,而且一点也不打扰游客。
