Lovely gardens but not suitable for children
Chalice Well的点评
点评：We visited Chalice Well and Gardens yesterday as a family. We live within walking distance and thought it would be a lovely place to take a picnic during the summer holidays.
What I don't understand is why children are allowed in and families are charged admission when it feels like they aren't actually welcome.
When we arrived, we were told at the entrance that children needed to be quiet while walking around the gardens. That was absolutely fine, and our children were brilliant. They walked quietly around the gardens, respected the peaceful atmosphere, ate their lunch calmly in the main meadow area and paddled quietly in the stream.
After lunch they naturally became a little restless, so I suggested they quietly run to the top of the hill and back. There was nobody else in that part of the meadow apart from one couple sitting on a bench some distance away. Within moments, a member of staff came over and asked me to stop them running because "it isn't a playground" and it's "a place where people come for quiet and reflection."
I completely appreciate that Chalice Well is a place of peace and contemplation, and we were making every effort to respect that. But children are children—they have energy, especially during the school holidays. They weren't shouting, screaming, climbing on anything or disturbing other visitors. They were simply running quietly across an open grassy area.
If the expectation is that children should remain completely still for the duration of their visit, then perhaps the gardens should be adults only. As it stands, it feels unfair to invite families in, charge full admission, and then make them feel unwelcome for normal, respectful childhood behaviour.
It's a beautiful place, but sadly we left feeling that families with children aren't genuinely welcome, despite being encouraged to visit.

翻译：昨天，我们一家人去参观了圣杯井及花园。我们住得离那里很近，觉得夏天来这里野餐一定会很有趣。
让我不解的是，明明感觉孩子们其实并不受欢迎，为什么还是允许他们进入，还要向带孩子的家庭收取门票费用呢？
我们到达时，入口处的工作人员告诉我们，孩子们在园内行走时必须保持安静。这完全没问题，我们的孩子也表现得很好。他们安静地在花园中漫步，尊重着那里的宁静氛围；又在中央的草地上悠然享用午餐，随后还轻手轻脚地在小溪中戏水。
午饭后，他们自然而然地变得有些坐立不安，于是我建议他们悄悄跑到山顶再返回。那时，那片草地上除了远处长椅上坐着的一对情侣外再无他人。转瞬之间，一位工作人员走过来，要求我制止孩子们奔跑，理由是“这里不是游乐场”，而是“一个供人们安静沉思的地方”。
我完全理解圣杯泉是一个需要保持宁静与冥思的场所，我们也一直在努力尊重这一点。不过孩子毕竟是孩子——他们精力旺盛，尤其是在寒暑假期间。他们并没有大喊大叫、爬上任何东西，也没有打扰到其他游客。他们只是静静地跑过一片开阔的草地。
如果预期是孩子们在参观期间必须一动不动，那么或许这个花园就该只供成年人进入。目前的情况是：邀请家庭前来参观，收取全价门票，却又因孩子们那些正常且得体的孩童行为而让他们感觉不受欢迎，这实在有失公平。
这是个美丽的地方，但遗憾的是，离开时我们觉得带孩子的家庭其实并不真正受到欢迎。尽管有人鼓励他去拜访，但……
