点评:When exploring what NT properties to visit close to our holiday accommodation I initially thought that the Alfriston and the Alfriston Clergy House in particular would not keep us long due to its small size. However, I should have known that the NT would push the boat out for the first property that was ever bought by the National Trust, just after its formation.
The Guide and Volunteer ratio per square foot of property must be one of the biggest of the NT houses we have visited and that starts right from the beginning when we were given a short talk in the side garden about the property and the history of the NT. The Clergy House itself is very small, but when combined with the small museum and the garden and orchard it is worth a visit. We wlaked up on a Saturday morning and received a warm welcome from the staff, so I assume they have done away with the need to book in advance.
As well as the Clergy House, you have the picturesque and historic village of Alfriston itself and the Church of St Andrew on the Tye, both of which are worth strolling around. There are several restaurants and amazingly four pubs in the village and I did wonder how it could sustain them all. Well, that was until we started browsing the village craft shops and perusing the restaurant and pub menus. Let’s just say there’s a bit of money sloshing about in Alfriston

每平方英尺房产的导游和志愿者比例一定是我们参观过的北领地房屋中最大的之一,这从一开始就开始了,当时我们在侧花园里简短地谈论了该房产和北领地的历史。牧师之家本身很小,但与小博物馆以及花园和果园结合起来,还是值得一去的。我们在周六早上醒来,受到工作人员的热烈欢迎,所以我认为他们已经不需要提前预订了。
除了神职人员之家外,您还可以参观风景如画且历史悠久的阿尔弗里斯顿村庄以及泰伊河上的圣安德鲁教堂,这两座教堂都值得漫步。村里有几家餐馆,令人惊讶的是有四家酒吧,我确实想知道如何维持它们。好吧,直到我们开始浏览村里的工艺品商店并仔细研究餐厅和酒吧的菜单。假设阿尔弗里斯顿有一些钱在晃荡
