点评:We decided to visit Firle Place because of its location and although we had know about it for many many years had never visited in person. What a surprise and pleasure it was. The joy commenced with the long pastoral drive through the south downs parkland it is set in watching the sheep dotted throughout the grassy vista, and then the wonder of the house appears. Inside more wonders awaited us.
We waited for the guided tour to begin. The guide (Aaron) was so friendly and informative and we learned so much about the history of the place. We never realised the historical link between Massachusetts and Firle until it was revealed to us. The paintings are just magical; words are not enough to convey our wonders at what we saw.
We also enjoyed some brief refreshments at their tea room before Firle Place closed for the day. You should come.
翻译:我们决定去参观弗尔庄园,是因为它地理位置优越。虽然我们早就听说过它,但从未亲自到访过。这次参观真是一次惊喜连连的体验。首先,驱车穿过庄园所在的南唐斯丘陵公园,一路欣赏着草地上点缀的羊群,令人心旷神怡。随后,庄园的奇景映入眼帘。进入庄园后,更多的惊喜等待着我们。
我们等待着导览开始。导游(亚伦)非常友好,知识渊博,让我们了解了很多关于庄园的历史。直到导游向我们揭示,我们才意识到马萨诸塞州和弗尔庄园之间有着历史渊源。庄园里的画作简直美轮美奂,语言难以形容我们当时的感受。
在弗尔庄园闭馆前,我们还在他们的茶室享用了一些茶点。强烈推荐大家也去看看。
