点评:Having just watched the Life On Mars TV series for the first time in 20 years, we were inspired to find out more about one of the key locations featured & discovered that it was just about to close for the Winter. We managed to book a place on the last Wednesday afternoon tour of the season here (£9 each) & were very impressed by the beauty of the building.
Our tour guide was very friendly & professional but, on reflection, I felt that we would have been better off self-guiding our way around the building given that the numerous wall displays provided the same information as the guide, and the presence of 20 other tour guests did restrict everyone's access to & sight of the key features of the building as we were guided round.
We pre-ordered a cream tea (£6 each) which consisted of tea/coffee plus a large, tasty cherry & sultana scone but with a barely sufficient amount of jam & clotted cream.
Certainly well worth a visit. Make it a great full- day out by fitting in a visit to Elizabeth Gaskell's House (10 mins walk away) in the morning.
翻译:20 年来,我们第一次观看了《火星生活》电视连续剧,我们很想进一步了解剧中一个主要地点,但发现它即将在冬季关闭。我们设法预订了本季最后一个周三下午的游览(每人 9 英镑),建筑的美丽给我们留下了深刻的印象。
我们的导游非常友好和专业,但经过深思熟虑,我觉得我们最好自己在建筑周围游览,因为墙上的众多展示提供的信息与导游提供的相同,而且在我们参观时,其他 20 名游客的存在确实限制了每个人进入和看到建筑的主要特征。
我们预订了奶茶(每人 6 英镑),包括茶/咖啡以及一个大而美味的樱桃和葡萄干烤饼,但果酱和凝固奶油的量却不够。
绝对值得一游。上午参观伊丽莎白·盖斯凯尔故居(步行 10 分钟),让这一天成为一个美好的旅程。
