Hall is a Jacobean house built in 1619. We paid £10 to look round, which
included the gardens, lake as well as the hall itself. Despite it
being the middle of summer, the weather wasn’t looking too good so we decided
we would walk around the lake first, after first taking a few photos of hedges
that were shaped like peacocks.
The walk takes about half an hour; there were lots of geese (who all made their way into the water when we wandered past), a couple of swans and a heron perched on an island in the middle of the lake. There’s a lovely view of the hall from across the lake which I posed in front of.
Returning from the walk, we looked around the hall. There are 3 floors to look around – my favourite room was the library. Before we left we made sure to visit the gardens. There was a new garden museum showing the history of the gardens since the hall was first built. I love a walled garden, and it was filled with roses and beautiful wildflowers.
I have several wildflower cards for sale in my Etsy shop.
