点评:Going to Mount Stuart is a terrific excursion from Glasgow, or frankly anywhere in Scotland.
From Wemyss Bay, 20 miles west of Glasgow, you hop a very efficient ferry for the ride to Rothesay, on Bute. The views from the ferry are phenomenal, especially in good weather.
Drive off the ferry and along the coast road to Mount Stuart, the seat of the Marquesses of Bute. It’s not an old house, by UK standards, but it’s very impressive. Excellent portrait collection, amazing stained glass windows, and beautiful neo-Gothic architectural features everywhere you look. Extremely helpful staff who will tell you the history of the house and the family, which was once the wealthiest family in the world. No expense was spared in building this enormous structure.
Outside are fine gardens and a superb walk along a sandy beach that goes on forever. The beach walk was a highlight.
To top it off, there is a cafe with fantastic food, including panini toasties that will fill you up for only 8 pounds.
It’s a great one-day excursion to a very magic place.
翻译:从格拉斯哥出发,或者说从苏格兰任何地方出发,前往斯图尔特山庄都是一次绝佳的短途旅行。
从格拉斯哥以西20英里的威姆斯湾出发,您可以搭乘便捷的渡轮前往比特岛的罗塞斯。渡轮上的景色美不胜收,尤其是在晴朗的天气里。
下船后,沿着海岸公路驱车前往斯图尔特山庄,这里是比特侯爵的府邸。按照英国的标准来看,它并不算古老,但却令人印象深刻。精美的肖像画收藏、令人惊叹的彩色玻璃窗,以及随处可见的优美新哥特式建筑特色,都令人叹为观止。热情友好的工作人员会为您讲述这座宅邸和家族的历史,这个家族曾经是世界上最富有的家族。建造这座宏伟的建筑可谓不惜工本。
庄园外有精致的花园,还有一条绵延不绝的沙滩,非常适合散步。海滩漫步是此行的一大亮点。
更棒的是,这里还有一家咖啡馆,食物美味极了,包括帕尼尼烤面包,只要8英镑就能让你吃饱。
这是一次非常棒的一日游,带你前往一个充满魔力的地方。
