点评:On a very hot day in July, Bateman's was full of visitors, many of whom were children. Were they visiting because of author Rudyard Kipling? Or, more specifically, because of the setting of 'Puck of Pook's Hill'? The lovely old house was home to the author for more than thirty years and features one of his old Rolls Royces.
There's plenty to see and several walks, including one to the restored Park Mill. The café had a very long queue so we walked up to the village stores in Burwash which gave us glorious views of the Weald from the sloping fields.
This is a place where several forms of literary tourism are present: paying homage to a location associated with an author, setting for fiction, and film induced literary tourism since some of 'My Boy Jack' (concerning Rudyard's son) was filmed there.
翻译:在七月一个酷热的日子里,贝特曼庄园里挤满了游客,其中很多是孩子。他们前来参观是因为作家鲁德亚德·吉卜林吗?或者更确切地说,是因为《普克山丘的故事》的故事背景就在这里?这座迷人的老宅曾是这位作家居住了三十多年的家,宅内还陈列着他曾经拥有的劳斯莱斯汽车。
这里有诸多可观赏之处,还有几条徒步路线,其中一条可通往修复一新的帕克磨坊。那家咖啡馆前排起了很长的队伍,于是我们便步行前往伯沃什的村中商店,从那里可以透过起伏的田野欣赏到韦尔德地区绝美的景色。
这里集中了多种形式的文学旅游形式:向与某位作家相关的地点致敬、作为小说场景地,以及因《我的男孩杰克》(讲述鲁德亚德儿子的故事)的部分情节在此拍摄而引发的电影衍生文学旅游。
