点评:What a revelation this was. A fabulous experience around the children’s museum which is located in the stables. We were by far one of the oldest visitors , with so many families and children enjoying the setting. Masses of hands on activities for them, in all sorts of ways, all the way through the museum. Little rooms for creative activity and the way toys and developed through the last couple of hundred years, supported by the collection of an amazing woman, Betty Cadbury.
In the house itself, we were utterly amazed at the quality of the plasterwork from the 1600’s and the stunning size of the place and all its outbuildings. The family earned money from the land they owned and spent a fortune of preparing it to be the biggest and the best of its time. We’d not seen anything like as grand as this for a 400 year old stately home.
The free car park is easily available across the road from the house
翻译:这真是一次令人惊喜的体验!位于马厩内的儿童博物馆给我们留下了深刻的印象。我们是这里年纪最大的游客之一,因为有很多家庭带着孩子在这里玩耍。博物馆里到处都是各种各样的互动活动,孩子们可以尽情体验。还有一些小房间可以进行创意活动,展示玩具在过去两百年间的发展历程,这些都得益于一位杰出女性——贝蒂·吉百利(Betty Cadbury)的收藏。
在主屋里,我们被17世纪精美的石膏装饰和宏伟的规模所震撼,以及所有附属建筑都令人叹为观止。这个家族靠着土地赚钱,并斥巨资将这座宅邸打造成当时规模最大、最豪华的庄园。我们从未见过如此宏伟的400年历史的庄园。
马路对面就有免费停车场,停车非常方便。
