点评:For our get together this year we chose to visit Chalke Abbey with its Christmas market Light trail and of course the house .
Set in acres of land it was quite a drive from the entrance to the house but once there the car parking was plentiful . First stop was for a coffee after the drive . A good choice was available with nibbles and snacks for all tastes.
Nearby was a second hand bookshop , well stocked and like all National trust shops not to expensive .
We ventured into the house and found it interesting but not a lengthy tour , coming out through the cellar tunnels was unique , these were used by the servants so they weren’t seen by others.
Next was the light trail , a nice walk not flat but not too hilly and people of all ages were enjoying the lights .
Give it a go if you can 👍
翻译:今年我们聚会选择了查尔克修道院,参观那里的圣诞市场、灯光秀,当然还有修道院本身。
修道院占地数英亩,从入口到修道院需要开车一段距离,不过到了之后发现停车位很充足。开车回来后,我们先找了家咖啡馆喝咖啡。咖啡馆里有很多选择,还有各种小吃和零食,满足不同口味。
附近还有一家二手书店,藏书丰富,而且像所有国民信托商店一样,价格也不贵。
我们参观了修道院,觉得挺有意思,但参观时间不长。从地窖隧道出来感觉很特别,这些隧道是仆人使用的,所以其他人看不到。
接下来是灯光秀,这是一条不错的步道,路面不平坦,但也不陡峭,各个年龄段的人都很喜欢欣赏灯光。
有机会的话,一定要去看看👍
