点评:Struggling to find places locally as we'd visited every national trust and English heritage site within 90 minutes of where we live Google suggested this little gem and surprisingly it wasn't national trust nor English heritage but is actually owned by Bolton Council. The volunteers who help support it are very knowledgeable and insightful with their historical knowledge, the volunteers offer a guided tour for a small fee , though entry to the hall and the grounds are free ( including the parking )
We enjoyed a few hours here visiting both inside the hall and a walk around the grounds outside and topped off our visit with a cheeky cake and hot drink from the cafe within the premises which we can definitely recommend. While not a place where you could spend the whole day , you can easily spend 3hrs here . Would recommend the hall to anyone whose interested in visiting these types of places .
翻译:由于我们已经参观了住处附近90分钟车程内的所有国家名胜古迹信托和英国遗产名录景点,所以很难找到其他值得一去的地方。谷歌推荐了这个小宝地,出乎意料的是,它既不是国家名胜古迹信托也不是英国遗产名录的,而是博尔顿市议会的产业。志愿者们知识渊博,对历史有着独到的见解,他们提供收费的导览服务,不过进入大厅和花园都是免费的(包括停车)。
我们在这里度过了几个小时,参观了大厅内部,也漫步于外面的花园,最后还在里面的咖啡馆享用了美味的蛋糕和热饮,强烈推荐!虽然这里不适合消磨一整天,但三个小时绝对足够了。强烈推荐给所有对这类景点感兴趣的人。
