A couple of hours at Hylands.

The bumph on the web site says this about Hylands.

"Hylands Estate is a prestigious grade II* listed public park encompassing 574 acres of historic parkland."

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!

  2. It does look glorious, so your big title photo is from Hylands? (clue being the same trees in your first photo!).

    We've had a glorious day out too, I'll blog about it tomorrow.

    1. Well spotted. Yes, I took the banner photo last summer when Alex and I went there for some nan/grandson time together.
      Looking forward to reading about your day out.

  4. 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.
