点评:York House in Twickenham is a historic stately home that dates back to the 17th century, but today it serves as the Town Hall of the London borough of Richmond-upon-Thames. The front of the house consists largely of a car park and tennis courts, although there is some green space too. The rear of the house, however, is quite picturesque as you can explore a sunken garden that is sometimes used as an open-air theatre in the summer, wander along a couple of walking paths, and admire a beautiful fountain with a sea nymph. There is also a small restored Japanese garden and you are likely to encounter squirrels and birds around the gardens.
You can probably spend half an hour walking around the gardens and if you're keen to go for a longer walk, it will take you only 10 minutes or so to walk from here to Orleans House Gardens, which connect to Marble Hill Park. If you go for this option, you can spend more than two hours exploring the various gardens and the park and you can also enjoy spectacular views on your riverside walk.
翻译:特威克纳姆的约克庄园是一座历史悠久的庄园,其历史可追溯至17世纪,如今是伦敦泰晤士河畔里士满区的市政厅。庄园的正面主要由停车场和网球场组成,但也有一些绿地。然而,庄园的背面风景如画,您可以探索一个下沉式花园(夏季有时用作露天剧场),沿着几条步道漫步,欣赏一座带有海仙女雕塑的美丽喷泉。庄园内还有一个小型修复的日式花园,您很可能会在花园里遇到松鼠和鸟类。
您大概可以花半个小时在花园里漫步,如果您想走得更远,从这里步行到奥尔良庄园花园只需10分钟左右,该花园与大理石山公园相连。如果您选择此选项,您可以花两个多小时探索各个花园和公园,还可以在河边散步时欣赏壮丽的景色。
