点评:The home of Sir Winston Churchill in the Kent countryside. We visited here during the August holiday, so it was understandably very crowded. That said it has a huge car park and we managed to park easily.
The house if full of artifacts and memorabilia from Mr.Churchill's life and you can easily spend hours here. Unfortunately the "uniform" room was closed during our visit which was a bit of a disappointment, but it can't be helped. The gardens are huge and you can see the black swans that live there. There is also an outlying building that houses Mr.Churchill's vast works of art and if you wish you can also partake of a lecture.
The staff here were excellent and very knowledgeable with one exception. There was a very tall guide who was stationed in an upstairs room, I think it was Mr.Churchill's study/library, where a huge banner was hanging from the ceiling. I mentioned to the guide that it was the Churchill coat of arms, but he said that it was the coat of arms of the Order of the Bath - sorry buddy, but you're wrong!
All in all an excellent visit and I can highly recommend going here when you're in the area.
翻译:温斯顿·丘吉尔爵士位于肯特郡乡村的故居。我们是在八月假期期间参观的,所以人潮拥挤是可以理解的。不过,这里有个很大的停车场,我们很容易就停好了。
屋里摆满了丘吉尔先生生平的文物和纪念品,你可以轻松地在这里待上几个小时。可惜的是,“制服”室在我们参观期间关闭了,这有点令人失望,但也无可奈何。花园很大,你可以看到栖息在那里的黑天鹅。此外,还有一栋附属建筑,里面收藏着丘吉尔先生大量的艺术作品,如果你愿意,还可以参加讲座。
这里的工作人员非常优秀,知识渊博,但有一个例外。楼上的房间里有一位身材高大的导游,我想那是丘吉尔先生的书房/图书馆,天花板上悬挂着一面巨大的横幅。我跟导游说那是丘吉尔的盾徽,但他却说那是巴斯勋章的盾徽——抱歉,伙计,你错了!
总而言之,这是一次非常棒的参观,我强烈推荐你来这里参观。
