点评:I visited Arley Hall & Gardens in July and had a wonderful few hours exploring the grounds. The variety of the gardens was the highlight for me – from the colourful herbaceous borders and beautifully clipped formal gardens to the peaceful woodland garden with its ferns, bridges and winding paths. Every area had its own character and there was always something new to discover.
The Hall itself is an impressive building and looks stunning from the outside. The entrance through the historic clock tower into the courtyard is a lovely way to begin exploring.
The gardens are immaculately maintained and there are plenty of benches where you can stop, rest and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. If you enjoy photography, it’s a fantastic place, with beautiful views around almost every corner.
The visitor facilities are excellent, with a lovely café, clean toilets, good accessibility and a dog-friendly site. One thing to be aware of is that there is a fairly long walk from the car park to the entrance. If walking longer distances is difficult, it’s worth allowing extra time. A couple of benches along this route would make a welcome addition.
At £11 (reduced from the usual £13 as part of the Government’s Great British Summer Savings Scheme when I visited in July), I thought it represented excellent value for money. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit and would happily return in another season to see how the gardens change throughout the year.
翻译:我七月份参观了阿利庄园及花园,在那里度过了几个小时美好的时光。花园的多样性令我印象深刻——从色彩缤纷的草本花坛和修剪整齐的正式花园,到宁静的林地花园,那里遍布蕨类植物、桥梁和蜿蜒小径。每个区域都各具特色,总有新的发现。
庄园本身是一座令人印象深刻的建筑,外观也十分精美。穿过历史悠久的钟楼进入庭院,是开启探索之旅的绝佳方式。
花园维护得一丝不苟,到处都是长椅,您可以驻足休息,享受宁静的环境。如果您喜欢摄影,这里绝对是理想之地,几乎每个角落都能欣赏到美丽的景色。
游客设施非常完善,包括一家舒适的咖啡馆、干净的洗手间、便捷的无障碍通道,而且允许携带宠物狗。需要注意的是,从停车场到入口需要步行一段较长的路程。如果您步行较长距离有困难,建议预留充足的时间。这条路线上如果能添置几张长椅就更好了。
门票11英镑(我七月份去的时候,因为政府的“英国夏季省钱计划”,原价13英镑),我觉得非常划算。我非常享受这次游览,也很乐意在其他季节再去一次,看看花园一年四季的变化。
