点评:We visited specifically to see the Tudor Palace and to walk in the parkland, aware that the Jacobean House only opens later in the year. On arrival it was easy to park and to book places on the guided tour.
The Palace was incredible. Only the one wing is left but it houses the beautiful Hall and rooms in which the royal children were schooled and in which important discussions would have been held at significant times in Tudor history (eg following Elizabeth becoming aware that she was now Queen). Dermot was our wonderful tour guide. It was a very memorable hour in which Dermot brought to life the buildings and their inhabitants with historical background including details from his own research. Having someone so welcoming and genuinely passionate about Hatfield made the tour very special.
The Park was lovely to walk around with ancient woodlands and the cafe was very welcoming with a good selection. It seemed very popular also with locals. The Church is also worth a visit.
Thank you to Dermot and to all the lovely staff we met. We are looking forward to retuning and meeting Dermot again to learn about Hatfield House.
Thoroughly recommend.
翻译:我们此行的目的是参观都铎宫殿并在公园里漫步,因为我们知道詹姆斯一世时期的宅邸要到年底才会开放。抵达后,停车和预订导览都很方便。
宫殿令人叹为观止。虽然只剩下一翼,但里面有美丽的厅堂和房间,皇家子女曾在此接受教育,在都铎王朝历史上的重要时刻(例如伊丽莎白女王得知自己成为女王之后),这里也曾是举行重要讨论的场所。我们的导游德莫特非常棒。这一个小时的讲解令人难忘,德莫特生动地展现了建筑及其居住者的历史背景,并分享了他自己的研究成果。德莫特热情好客,对哈特菲尔德充满真挚的热爱,让这次旅行格外难忘。
公园景色宜人,古老的林地环绕四周,咖啡馆温馨舒适,饮品种类丰富,似乎也很受当地人欢迎。教堂也值得一游。
感谢德莫特以及我们遇到的所有可爱的工作人员。我们期待着再次拜访德莫特,了解哈特菲尔德庄园的情况。
强烈推荐。
