And, Here Be Photos

As I have already posted, yesterday Christine & I went to visit Lytes Carey ... we chose well as it closes this weekend for the winter. So good timing and a great trip. And, we managed to avoid the rain until we were driving home.

Enjoy

The coat of arms of the family -

And, as you can see, on top to the house is (was) a carving of a swan)



The topiary are nicknamed the 12 apostles



















In the gardens, there is still some Autumn colour -




And, the attached chapel



And, on our walks







A fun day

What a lovely place. Those topiaries are wonderful.

So true - it was a lovely place to visit, and a nice day out

How lovely. I am particularly taken with the chapel - and the kingfisher!

[debris4spike]

That Chapel was certainly a beautiful place - and a real feeling of peace there.

Yes, I do like how some places do carve tree stumps into animals/birds ... that Kingfisher is beautiful

You have such great historical houses to visit. And then you provide us with a glimpse of these sites with wonderful photos.

I am so fortunate to live in a beautiful and historic area ... and it is one of the nice things about LJ, I can share them with friends
