The house isn't open in the way that Chatsworth, etc, are open but the grounds are open more or less all the time and they are lovely to just stroll around.
I spent a couple of hours there this morning and here's a few photos in no particular order
Just look at all that sunshine - it was glorious!
It looks lovely and peaceful and just look at that blue sky! X
ReplyDeleteIt was so restful and pleasant.

It does look glorious, so your big title photo is from Hylands? (clue being the same trees in your first photo!).
ReplyDeleteWe've had a glorious day out too, I'll blog about it tomorrow.
Well spotted. Yes, I took the banner photo last summer when Alex and I went there for some nan/grandson time together.
DeleteLooking forward to reading about your day out.

ReplyDeleteThanks, Sharon. Your spring will come soon, I am sure.

It's a beautiful place. I enjoyed your photos. I went there a few years ago on a heritage open day. I seem to remember a very interesting exhibition and we also enjoyed the tea room.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jean. They do have exhuibitions there from time to time. I remember a lovely exhibitions of quilts a few years back.

Thought I recognized the shrubs from your banner! I love that photo - they just look so happy!
ReplyDeleteThat's absolutely it, Sue! It was a very happy visit, just lovely. It's so close, I must go more often.
