I love visiting National Trust houses, so when we went to Beningborough
Hall the other week, I finally signed up and became a member. The hall is
a large Georgian mansion near the village of Beningborough in North Yorkshire and
was built in 1716.
Many National
Trust places are closed or partially closed during the winter months. The hall was only
accessible via a lift due to the main entrance being closed, which meant that I
couldn’t go inside because of my ridiculous fear of lifts. This
gave us more time to walk around the grounds.
One of the first things we saw was the splashes of purple from the crocuses
and spring flowers starting to bloom. The snowdrops were also out. Afterwards, we walked
along the driveway to the entrance and back beside the River Ouse.
