点评:Marvellous day at Forde Abbey, once the rain cleared. We spent the morning walking in the gardens enjoying the trees, the wild flowers, the bog garden especially and the lovely beds of colourful flowers. The gardens enhance a varied landscape on several levels, and with accompanying watery sounds connecting the large ponds. Don't miss the large fountain experience, likely at 12.30 and 2.30.
Lunch at the cafe was very good, great staff service and delicious food : substantial sausage roll and salad plus a very substantial fresh egg sandwich with salad. We paid £22.00 including coffee and a ginger beer and felt this was a fair price now (Sept 2025) for two light lunches.
We the spent a good hour or more visiting the house, which was a delight. We were impressed by the tapestries, and the cloisters and much more.
Highly recommended!
翻译:雨过天晴后,福德修道院的一天真是精彩绝伦。我们上午在花园里漫步,欣赏树木、野花,尤其喜欢沼泽花园,以及那美丽的五彩缤纷的花坛。花园在多个层面上烘托出丰富多彩的景观,潺潺的水声连接着大池塘。千万不要错过大型喷泉的体验,大概在12:30和2:30。
咖啡馆的午餐非常棒,员工服务周到,食物也很美味:丰盛的香肠卷和沙拉,以及一份非常丰盛的新鲜鸡蛋三明治和沙拉。我们花了22英镑,包括咖啡和姜汁啤酒,觉得现在(2025年9月)两顿简餐的价格还算合理。
我们花了一个多小时参观修道院,非常愉快。挂毯、回廊等等都给我们留下了深刻的印象。
强烈推荐!
