Great to find a NT property open all year. The house was beautiful, smaller than many NT properties which made it seem more homely. Gardens looked pleasant though a bit early in the season. The restaurant was also good. There are also marked walks around the estate. I will certainly be visiting again later in the year.
Both Baddesley and Packwood are worth visiting. You can go to wander round the gardens, or go for a coffee or full meal or spend time enjoying the properties if they are open.
是5月13号晴朗的那天来的,花园小路本身就很让人愉悦。每天4次的讲解很精彩,让整个建筑和里面的人都焕发了神采。与Priest Holes的关联以及提供的种种证据现象都传达的很彻底。我和妻子以及8到12岁的3个孩子整整听满了45分钟。参观一圈下来感觉不错,边听边参观更是长知识。导游也很优秀,尤其是楼下以及“暗杀室”的,后来回家时我们一路上还在找教堂呢。去年的日记已经被替换成了水彩艺术主题,说实话有点让人失望,原品干嘛不展览了,复制品让我觉得毫无生气。有个二手书店我很喜欢。强烈建议中部地区的人们来此,即使一开始不信教的也会被感染。最好早点来,因为入场要买票,但下午2点票就卖光了。对孩子们来说,Priest hole爬行区域是关闭的,去年明明开着的。户外活动和其他游乐区都没有。不过我觉得整体还不错。
昨天和朋友一起参观了Baddersley Clinton,14世纪晚期的建筑,这栋建筑有不止20个房间,而且能看到景色,导游非常有趣而且博学,由他带领参观很不错。我们也非常喜欢有栅栏的菜园,有必要两个月左右后回来看看园丁的成果。我们在餐厅喝咖啡吃午餐。
Well maintained gardens House full of historyLovely estate walkFood good in cafe/restaurantNice outdoor seating area if wish to sit outside
Excellent NT property well worth a stop. But they must sort the catering staff at all these sites there is no consistency or recognition of how busy and popular they are. A queue going out the door and the lady is asking: do you want a hot bowl for your soup or I have some very hot ones at the back, shall I put the cheese on top of the chilli or do you want me to put it on the potato then the chilli on top of that, where do you want me to pour the gravy, on the potato or the vegetable? Me, just get on with it so we can all be served.
Baddesley Clinton can easily be combined with a visit to Packwood House, which is close by. The views of the house across the moat are quite stuning. After a short talk we were left to wander around the house, which has an interesting selection of rooms. The gardens are well worth a visit as well. There is quite a large selection of second hand books around the entrance buildings.
A great place to visit again and again. There is something for everyone, with stunning gardens in the summer, a great second hand book shop and a lovely eatery. The house itself is fab, full of history and stories from across the generations. I've been in October and February and both seasons have shown Baddesley off very well. The second visit was with a baby and the facilities are fine, but a little chilly in the winter months. Otherwise, a fantastic afternoon out.
Baddesley的景色很美。保存良好,有很多不同的区,你绝不会感到厌倦!作为一个园艺师,我喜欢欣赏这里的植物。房屋保存的很好,员工们懂得很多。不管天气怎样,都很棒,孩子们超爱这里。
和附近的Packwood House买通票比分开来买这两个景点的票要便宜。环境非常优美,护城河和河上的桥是这个景点最大的特色。不巧的是因为那天的天气我们不能在林地的小径上散步。
