点评:Off the beaten track, however, what a gem! Plenty of roadside parking in a very quiet country lane. Stunning views of the countryside immediately we alighted from the car. A short walk to the NT reception, tucked away in a small barn. The handbook stated no cafe, that said, there is a seated area near the stables providing all the needs for tea and coffee. We enjoyed a really good freshly brewed coffee (biscuits too).
We took in the guided tour, well recommended. Our guide was both informative and humourous too making the history of the manor come alive. It would appear that lawyers over the centuries haven't changed that much..
The grounds and gardens are maintained by one mploed gardener and a number of volunteers. What an excellent job they do too. Plenty of benches and chairs dotted around together with really warm sunshine meant for a somewhat leisurely day.

我们参加了导游团,强烈推荐。我们的导游知识渊博,幽默风趣,让庄园的历史鲜活地展现出来。几个世纪以来,律师似乎并没有太大的变化。
庭院和花园由一位忙碌的园丁和一些志愿者维护。他们的工作做得非常出色。周围散布着许多长椅和椅子,温暖的阳光洒在庄园上,非常适合悠闲地度过一天。
