点评:We have been driving past Crossraguel approximately four times a year for the last 8, always meaning to visit.
Yesterday, we finally did and it did not disappoint!
What a fabulous place! There is so much more to see than can be first viewed from the road.
The views from the tower are amazing and the peaceful feel of the place is just so uplifting.
The guide Paul was such a gentleman, but sadly he explained that visitor numbers have dropped. Some feel it is too expensive, we felt it was well worth the admission price. These buildings need upkeep if they are to survive for future generations. The grassy areas around the abbey are immaculate. The place is obviously loved!
I found the history fascinating and bought the guidebook to read up on the ferry on the way home.
Historic Scotland also need to divert sone funding to "fix" the masonry issues that require scaffolding for H&S.
We will definitely call in again when it reopens next season.
翻译:在过去的8年里,我们每年都会开车经过克罗斯拉格尔大约4次,一直都打算去参观。
昨天,我们终于如愿以偿,而这里也没有让我们失望!
真是个绝妙的地方!值得观赏的景致远远不止从路边能看到的那些。
从塔楼上俯瞰的景色令人叹为观止,整个地方的宁静氛围也让人心旷神怡。
导游保罗是个非常有礼貌的绅士,不过很遗憾,他告诉我们游客数量有所减少。有些人觉得门票价格太贵了。我们认为这里的门票物有所值。这些建筑要想流传给后人,就需要妥善维护。修道院周围的草地整洁如新,显然这里深受人们喜爱!
我对它的历史很感兴趣,于是买了指南书,在回家的路上阅读有关渡轮的内容。
苏格兰历史遗产委员会也需拨出一些资金来“修复”那些需要搭设脚手架才能处理的砖石结构问题,以保障安全。
等下个季节重新开放时,我们一定还会再来。
