点评:We visited Sledmere House and Gardens yesterday, 25th May. We're on holiday in a beautiful cottage in the lovely village of Burythorpe. The cottage has lots of suggestions for places to visit for days out, including a guide book on Sledmere. So after booking a guided tour of the House online, we were looking forward to our visit. Not a good idea!! A new parking arrangement now entails that visitors are forced to cross the very busy B1253 in order to access the house and gardens. In doing so they take their lives into their hands as the fast traffic is non-stop, coming from around a bend in the road with no warnings for oncoming vehicles. Not unike trying to cross a motorway in rush hour. This is a very dangerous and irresponsible move on behalf of the management and should not have gone ahead without arrangements with the local council for a safe crossing. People's lives are more important than saving old trees, which apparently is the reason for creating the new car park. Elderly visitors and those with mobility issues - beware!!
翻译:我们昨天,也就是5月25日,参观了斯莱德米尔庄园和花园。我们正在美丽的伯里索普村一栋漂亮的度假小屋里度假。小屋里有很多一日游的推荐景点,包括一本关于斯莱德米尔的旅游指南。所以,在网上预订了庄园的导览游后,我们非常期待这次参观。结果却不是个好主意!新的停车安排意味着游客必须穿过繁忙的B1253公路才能进入庄园和花园。这样做简直是在拿生命冒险,因为车速很快,而且车辆从弯道处驶来,没有任何警告标志。这和高峰时段试图穿越高速公路没什么两样。这是管理方非常危险且不负责任的举措,在没有与当地议会协商制定安全过街方案的情况下,根本不应该实施。人们的生命比保护古树更重要,而这显然是他们建造新停车场的理由。老年人和行动不便的游客——请务必小心!
