点评:After spending hours on a plane, I appreciated the opportunity to walk around these beautiful grounds. Although I went at a time during the year where flowers were not at their peak, I admired even their array of beautiful trees. The castle itself is very interesting as well as the stories that it embodies. I especially appreciated learning the origin of the sayings such as "Saved by the bell" or the need for the hidden "priest hole". A couple of insights I would have benefitted from is to go inside the castle while waiting for the tour to start as I thought we had to wait at the outside entrance and be called in at our scheduled time. The waiting area inside provides pictures, artifacts and informational timeline that is beneficial to see before taking the actual tour. Also, there is a butterfly garden that I kept trying to find on the grounds but finally figured out you access it through the inside of the ticket sales/gift shop area!
翻译:在飞机上待了几个小时后,我很庆幸有机会漫步在这片美丽的土地上。虽然我去的时候花开得并不茂盛,但我还是被周围美丽的树木所吸引。城堡本身以及它所蕴含的故事都非常有趣。我尤其喜欢了解“钟声拯救”等谚语的起源,以及隐藏的“神父洞”的必要性。我原本以为我们必须在外面的入口处等候,然后按预定时间被叫进去,所以在等待游览开始时,不妨去城堡内部看看,这样会对我更有帮助。城堡内的等候区提供了图片、文物和信息时间表,在正式参观之前看看会很有帮助。此外,城堡内还有一个蝴蝶园,我一直想找到它,但最终发现可以通过售票处/礼品店区域的内部进入!
