点评:We went on a gloriously warm Sunday afternoon, mainly because there’s an English-language tour of the Abbey every day at 4pm. That turned out to be a good decision. The gardens are beautiful, with a series of different themed areas to explore, and there are plenty of mature trees providing welcome shade when the sun is doing its best to melt you.
It wasn’t overcrowded, so we were able to take our time and simply enjoy wandering around and reading a book. The guided tour lasted about an hour and was both interesting and informative, bringing the history of the Abbey to life without feeling overly long.
The restaurant was also very good, although there was one slightly quirky feature: to get to it you have to leave the grounds and then re-enter afterwards. It feels a bit like a very gentle escape room—but with lunch at the end.
翻译:我们是在一个暖意融融的周日下午去的,主要是因为每天下午4点都有英语导游讲解。这个决定真是明智。花园美不胜收,有许多不同主题的区域可供游览;还有许多参天大树,在烈日当空时提供了舒适的荫凉。
游客并不多,所以我们可以慢悠悠地四处闲逛,还能安心地读本书。这次导览大约持续了一小时,既有趣又富有教育意义,生动地展现了修道院的历史,而且时间长度也恰到好处,不会让人觉得冗长。
餐厅同样很不错,不过有个略显特别之处:要去餐厅必须先离开修道院区域,之后再重新进入。这种体验有点像一场极其温和的密室逃脱游戏——只不过最后还能享用午餐。
