点评:Lovely sunny day - hot but not too hot - we started our visit with coffee & cake from the cafe which was lovely. We sat outside overlooking the lawns & sculptures.
We then headed over for our tour of Moore’s house, Hoglands, we paid extra for this and it was well worth it. There were quite a lot of rules, no bags, shoe covers had to be worn, questions only at the end of the tour, stand here not there! 🫤 once you got use to that it was interesting & timing wise it felt about right.
We then headed to the learning centre, barns and outdoor buildings. It was all very well curated with lots to see, even though quite a few pieces are currently on loan to Kew Gardens.
We went back to the cafe for some lunch of salad & wraps. Everything was prepackaged & didn’t taste particularly fresh. We have been before & brought a picnic which is a better idea. There is a lovely little pub next door called The Hoops which could also be an option.
Your ticket is valid for 12 months which is a good idea, hopefully I remember this and come back again which is worthwhile if you live in Hertfordshire.
Definitely a quieter more sedate day out, but well worth it.
翻译:阳光明媚,天气宜人——虽然热,但并不闷热——我们先在咖啡馆享用了咖啡和蛋糕,感觉很棒。我们坐在户外,俯瞰着草坪和雕塑。
之后,我们前往参观摩尔故居霍格兰兹庄园,虽然需要额外付费,但绝对物有所值。参观期间有很多规矩:禁止携带包袋,必须穿鞋套,只能在参观结束时提问,而且要站在这里而不是那里!🫤 一旦习惯了这些规矩,参观就变得很有趣,时间安排也恰到好处。
随后,我们去了学习中心、谷仓和户外建筑群。所有展品都布置得非常精美,有很多东西可以看,尽管其中不少展品目前借展给了邱园。
我们回到咖啡馆吃了午餐,点了沙拉和卷饼。所有食物都是预包装的,味道不太新鲜。我们之前来过,当时带了野餐,感觉更好。隔壁有一家名为“The Hoops”的可爱小酒吧,也可以考虑去那里用餐。
您的门票有效期为 12 个月,这真是个好主意。希望我能记住这一点,并再次光临。如果您住在赫特福德郡,这绝对值得一去。
这绝对是一次更安静、更悠闲的郊游,但非常值得。
