点评:Great day out to Paxton House today, my first visit was 28 years ago! This was my 4th visit and my husbands 3rd over the last 4 years. Beautiful house and grounds, our guide Carol is the same guide we’ve been lucky enough to have for the past 3 visits, Each tour has taught us new things about the history of this fabulous property, and each one has been entertaining and engaging. As my husband is keen on furniture particularly Chippendale, Carol remembered us, We had taken my Mother In Law who is on her first visit to Northumberland and has limited mobility, but she was able to sit in each room and thoroughly enjoyed it. As we’re Historic House members we may return later in the week for a longer visit to the grounds as we had a booking this afternoon to attend. The tour was a good 1.5hrs but it flew by.
We’ve previously stayed at the Caravan park in the Walled Garden and will be back on our next visit in our Motorhome as it’s a beautiful site and you have access to the grounds after closing.
We were also lucky enough to meet and speak to the last owner of the House who bequeathed it to the charitable trust who run it, we had a lovely conversation about his experience growing up at the house and the renovation of the water mill.
Definitely recommend this House to visit if you’re in the area
翻译:今天去帕克斯顿庄园玩得很开心,我第一次来这里还是28年前!这是我第四次来,也是我丈夫过去四年来的第三次。庄园和花园都非常漂亮,我们的导游卡罗尔是我们过去三次来的同一位,我们很幸运每次都是她带我们参观。每次讲解都让我们对这座迷人庄园的历史有了新的了解,而且每次都生动有趣,引人入胜。因为我丈夫特别喜欢奇彭代尔风格的家具,卡罗尔还记得我们。我们这次带了我的婆婆,她第一次来诺森伯兰郡,行动不太方便,但她还是能够坐在每个房间里,而且非常享受这次参观。我们是历史建筑协会的会员,所以这周晚些时候可能会再来,好好参观一下庄园,因为我们今天下午已经预订了参观活动。这次参观大约一个半小时,但感觉时间过得飞快。
我们之前曾在围墙花园里的露营地住过,下次开房车来的时候还会选择这里,因为营地环境优美,而且闭园后也可以继续进入花园。
我们还有幸见到了这座宅邸的最后一位主人,他将其遗赠给了现在运营它的慈善信托机构。我们愉快地聊了聊他在这座宅邸的成长经历以及水磨坊的修缮故事。
如果您在附近,强烈推荐您来参观这座宅邸。
