点评:Absolutely stunning Tudor house and parkland. I'm obsessed with history, especially the Tudor period, so it was a privilege to finally visit the house and on the opening day of the season.
Dermot, who gave the tour of the original house, I discovered is also Irish and from the next county to me. He is a gentleman, so knowledgeable and passionate about the house, its former residents and the history. His tour is an absolute must! He carried out so much research and has the Irish flair for story telling... he brought the house and characters alive.
The house was only 15 minutes by train from Finsbury Park Station and underground station, so a worthwhile day trip from London. The gates to the House and Park entrance are literally across the road from the station.
Many visitors to London have no idea how close and easy it is to get to and are missing out on such a beautiful experience.
The cafe was lovely, prices are 'normal' for London (expensive). Toilet facilities clean and plenty of stalls.
Staff were all pleasant and helpful.
You can photograph, but not film in the 'newer' house, it is still a family residence.
Bring the family, or go solo and spend the day. You will leave happy and rejuvenated, the birds singing and peacefulness of the woodlands makes it the perfect oasis and tonic from normal life. You can almost see Elizabeth, Mary and Edward running through the gardens.

带我参观这座宅邸的德莫特(Dermot)原来也是爱尔兰人,而且就住在我隔壁郡。他是一位绅士,对这座宅邸、它的前住户以及它的历史都了如指掌,充满热情。他的讲解绝对不容错过!他做了大量的研究,而且拥有爱尔兰人特有的讲故事天赋……他让这座宅邸和其中的人物都鲜活了起来。
从芬斯伯里公园火车站和地铁站乘坐火车只需15分钟即可到达这座宅邸,所以从伦敦出发一日游非常值得。宅邸和公园的入口就在车站对面。
很多来伦敦的游客都不知道这里离得这么近,交通这么便利,错过了如此美妙的体验。
咖啡馆很不错,价格在伦敦算是“正常”水平(偏贵)。洗手间很干净,隔间也很多。
工作人员都非常友善热情。
在“新”房子里可以拍照,但不能录像,因为它仍然是私人住宅。
带上家人,或者独自一人来这里度过一天,您一定会感到身心愉悦、精神焕发。鸟儿的鸣唱和林间的宁静,使这里成为远离尘嚣的完美绿洲。您仿佛能看到伊丽莎白、玛丽和爱德华在花园里奔跑嬉戏。
