点评:Spring is very much under way at Cheslyn. The Daffodils are fully out, the camellias look lovely in the woodland, and the magnolias are in fully bloom on the lawn. The magnolias in particular look good this year without any frost damage. The last of the earlier spring flowers are hanging on - the hellebores by the house and a very last few snowdrops in the woodland.
The garden has distinct areas with a formal pond and rock garden; woodland; and lawns in front of the house. It only takes an hour to walk around, but its easy to spend much longer. Especially recommend spending some time at the wild bird feeder. With a little patience you can see Siskin (a bit like a greenfinch) and a blackcap (although the female has more of a brown cap), as well as blackbirds, song thrush, great tit, blue tit, robin, etc.
In terms of facilities there is a toilet open the same hours as the garden, but no refreshments available. It opens at 9am and evening closure depends on when sunset is, and is clearly displayed at the entrance. The house is hired out from time to time to community groups and sometimes has public access - like an art show.
翻译:切斯林的春天即将到来。水仙花全开了,林地里的山茶花娇艳欲滴,草坪上的玉兰花盛开了。尤其是今年的木兰,看起来很好,没有受到任何霜害。早春的最后一朵花还挂在墙上——房子边的藜芦和林地里最后几朵雪花莲。
花园有不同的区域,有正式的池塘和岩石花园;林地;和房子前面的草坪。逛一圈只需要一个小时,但很容易花更长的时间。特别推荐在野鸟喂食器呆上一段时间。只要有一点耐心,您就可以看到黄雀(有点像绿翅雀)和黑帽雀(尽管雌性的帽帽更像是棕色),还有黑鸟、歌鸫、大山雀、蓝山雀、知更鸟等。
设施方面,厕所与花园开放时间相同,但不提供茶点。上午 9 点开门,晚上关闭取决于日落时间,入口处有清晰的标示。这所房子有时会出租给社区团体,有时也会向公众开放——就像艺术展一样。
