点评:We visited Kedleston Hall earlier today and what a treat it was! As we turned onto the estate, we caught a sneak peek of the mansion, and driving over a small bridge felt like a scene straight out of a period drama. The car park was well laid out with plenty of spaces, which is always a win in my book.
There was a short walk to the visitor center and then onto the hall itself. The hall is absolutely stunning, with art, sculptures, and marble galore. We visited in December, so the hall was adorned with Christmas trees, making it feel like Santa’s second home (just with fewer elves and more history).
We spent a good hour chatting with the staff, who were like walking encyclopedias of knowledge and very polite to boot. The tour was a delightful mix of education and admiration.
And let's not forget the pièce de résistance – the restaurant. We devoured some delicious sausage rolls and washed them down with hot drinks. It was the perfect end to our visit. This was our first visit, but it certainly won’t be our last. We can't wait to return when the weather is a bit more favorable.
Overall, Kedleston Hall is a festive wonderland and a sausage roll enthusiast’s paradise. Highly recommended!
翻译:我们今天早些时候参观了凯德尔斯顿庄园,真是一次难忘的体验!当我们驶入庄园时,我们瞥见了这座豪宅,开车经过一座小桥,感觉就像是直接从古装剧中走出来的场景。停车场布局合理,有足够的空间,这对我来说总是一件好事。
步行一小段路即可到达游客中心,然后进入大厅。大厅绝对令人惊叹,到处都是艺术品、雕塑和大理石。我们是 12 月参观的,所以大厅装饰着圣诞树,让人感觉像是圣诞老人的第二个家(只是精灵少了,历史多了)。
我们花了一个小时与工作人员聊天,他们就像行走的知识百科全书,而且非常有礼貌。这次旅行是教育和钦佩的愉快结合。
让我们不要忘记重头戏——餐厅。我们狼吞虎咽地吃了一些美味的香肠卷,喝了热饮。这是我们访问的完美结束。这是我们第一次来,但肯定不会是最后一次。我们迫不及待地想在天气好一点的时候再来。
总的来说,凯德尔斯顿庄园是一个节日仙境,也是香肠卷爱好者的天堂。强烈推荐!
