Picturesque, but not much to see
The Highlands Mansion and Gardens的点评
点评:We visited The Highlands Mansion & Garden en route to another event in the area and I'm glad we didn't trek out here for just the house/garden; otherwise, this would have been a major disappointment. Similar to another reviewer, we came in the Fall. There had been a wedding earlier that weekend and so the place was carefully attended to, but there wasn't much to see. The house and barn are definitely unique architecture wise as are the stone battlements of the courtyard garden. We also loved how a greenhouse from the early 1900s is still going strong. That said, we spent all of 20 minutes here. There appear to be trails at the back of the parking lot through the rolling countryside, which could extend your stay, but we were mostly interested in the garden. If we're in the area again, we would consider re-visiting in the summer to actually see what's in bloom (and perhaps a house tour? They are by appointment only.) It is quite idyllic, the area surrounding The Highlands Mansion is lovely as well and this place doesn't seem to get a lot of foot traffic (other than locals), but I just wouldn't venture out of your way here to visit.
翻译:我们在前往该地区参加另一场活动的途中参观了高地庄园和花园,我很高兴我们不是为了房子/花园而长途跋涉到这里;否则,这将是一次巨大的失望。与另一位评论者一样,我们是在秋天来的。那个周末早些时候举行了一场婚礼,所以这个地方得到了精心的照料,但没有什么可看的。房子和谷仓的建筑风格绝对是独一无二的,庭院花园的石砌城垛也是如此。我们也喜欢 20 世纪初的温室,它至今仍在运行。话虽如此,我们在这里呆了整整 20 分钟。停车场后面似乎有穿过连绵起伏的乡村的小径,可以延长您的逗留时间,但我们最感兴趣的是花园。如果我们再次来到该地区,我们会考虑在夏天再次造访,亲眼看看哪些花儿正在盛开(或许还可以参观一下房屋?但需要预约)。这里非常田园诗意,高地大厦周围的区域也很美丽,而且这个地方似乎没有太多的人流(除了当地人),但我不会特意前来参观。
