点评:VERY IMPRESSIVE GARDEN
I spent time in the area 30 years ago when the Old Garden was overgrown and dark & crowded, the veg garden was a derelict mess, no tennis courts, no admission to the Manor House, and second rate cafe and limited shop.
What a transformation over the past thirty years!
The Old Garden is hugely improved and now includes access to to East Court and through the Maple Garden. There is access to the ground floor of the Manor House including a brilliant exhibition space, and the cafe and shop are refreshed and inviting.
The garden was suffering a little in September from the tough year of limited rainfall, but the addition of an impressive Sculpture Exhibition throughout many parts of the garden was a huge boost and included in the admission price.
Well done NT, an excellent job over the past 30 years and look forward to more to come.
翻译:令人印象深刻的花园
30年前我曾到访过这里,那时老花园杂草丛生、阴暗拥挤,菜园荒芜破败,没有网球场,庄园宅邸也不对外开放,咖啡馆平庸,商店规模有限。
这三十年来,这里发生了翻天覆地的变化!
老花园焕然一新,现在可以通往东庭院和枫树花园。庄园宅邸的一楼也对外开放,包括一个精彩的展览空间,咖啡馆和商店也焕然一新,令人倍感舒适。
由于今年降雨量少,花园在九月份略显萧条,但花园各处增设的令人印象深刻的雕塑展极大地提振了花园的活力,而且展览费用已包含在门票价格中。
国家信托基金会做得好!过去三十年来,你们的工作非常出色,期待你们未来带来更多惊喜。
