A day out at Dyrham Park

I had the choice if Westonbirt Arboretum (again) or here:








Not very clear but, it's a painting inside a cupboard, the rooms were so dark, the guide shone a light on things for us to see



There are a few in my profile album, I took about 100 as usual! Don't worry I've only posted a few

Looks really nice Tess.
I'd have happily had a wander round there with you.

Looks like you had a good day out Tess, lovely photos.

I've never been there even though it's not too far away from me, I must make the effort next year.

Re: A day out at Dyrham Park

The grounds are immense, not sure why anyone needed so much land! Quite plain really. Luckily there's a bus to ride to the house!
I'm always amazed that there was so much wealth around when much of the population was very poor. But I suppose if they didn't own it we wouldn't have it preserved.

No Mups it's National Trust. I did think of sneaking off and camping out in one of the rooms though

Great photos, TessA. Love the one in the cupboard - what a novel idea. I especially like all the autumn colours as well.
