for Wordless Wednesday on a Tuesday and others..
Two weeks ago you joined me at a stately home. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to show you the interior because no photography was allowed.
Recently I visited another, and this time there was no such ban! The lighting was dim, and I wasn’t permitted to use flash, so they are not the best, but I thought I’d show a you few of the many rooms anyway!
Click pics to enlarge!
Now, where’s the door?
In we go! This is the library …
Drawing room …
Something room …
Dining room …
Music room …
Fancy a nap? Bedroom …
Hallway …
Can’t remember …
There’s the garden. Lets go outside!
Careful down the steps …
Woodland …
Japanese garden …
Formal garden …
Kitchen garden …
Looks like rain …
That’s it! I hope you enjoyed our visit.

A palatial home. Looks a lot like the one they used in Downton Abby.
That is Highclere Castle, not that far from the house in my pictures. Cheers, Sadje
👍👍
Wow! stunning what a nice interesting tour fab photos I have a bedroom like that 😯
Have a regaltastic week 👍
I’m sure you have Steve! Thanks, my friend.
Lovely. Thanks for sharing. Not a home I had heard of before.
There are so many hidden treasures. Thanks so much, Denise.
Hi Keith – centuries! ago … I stayed near there (Corfe Castle way) with some cousins helping out with kids etc …
Amazing dahlias … and what a fascinating place to visit – loved the images of the rooms you took – and how many people frequent those walls – incredible place. Gorgeous garden too … and yes thank you I did enjoy ‘our visit’ … cheers Hilary
Centuries ago – you deserve a painting of yourself on the wall!
I love dahlias and they were beauties. Pleased you enjoyed your wander around Hilary!
Ah ha … they enhanced art work then didn’t they – that’ll suit me!!
Those dahlias must have been glorious … as you say beauties … loved the wander around.
Cheers Hilary
Didn’t Hyacinth love to visit the stately homes! These photos are gorgeous, thanks for sharing! PS I am addicted to your tv, I just binged Ackley Bridge!
She did – ‘keep up Richard’! Right now I’m addicted to your AGT and the latest series of Law and Order SVU, a bit different from Ackley Bridge!
Such a wonderful place! I was reading the captions and when I got to “Can’t remember…,” I chuckled. Thanks for sharing your experience with us.
I thought I’d be honest Christina! Thanks for joining me.
That Japanese garden is gorgeous!!! The opukance of that decorated ceiling is wonderful too.
It is a pretty little garden, and yes, that ceiling is incredible. Thanks, Lydia.
It’s beautiful, i’d be scared to live in a place that fancy. Knowing me, i’d break something.
I worried about that and I was just a visitor!
So very beautiful. Those are some fancy digs.
Not a bad pad! Cheers.
I’m so happy that photos were allowed in this place. What magnificence. I’m trying to imagine what a contrast this house would be to a typical shelter of the time in which it was built. I would feel like royalty if I lived there.
An interesting thought. It was built in the 1660s when it was very much ‘them and us’.
What a great old mansion and estate! I particularly like the gardens, so much interest and curiosity there.
I admire the interior of the mansion, too – it’s not my individual taste, but definitely a lot to explore and be intrigued by.
Nor mine, I’m more of an IKEA kinda guy! Fascinating to see how the wealthy lived back then though.
Beautiful place. I love the gardens too. I would have loved to tour this wonderful place.
Thank you for hosting the Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Wordless Wednesday, Keith. 🙂
It was a wonderful day out. Thanks, Sandee.
Thanks for the visit, Keith. I liked the “I can’t remember” room 🙂
I’ve forgotten which pic that was! Thanks for dropping by Michael.
Thanks so much for the great tour. What a wonderful home. Can we move in tomorrow… please
I’m sure we can find you a room – there are enough of them!
Gosh! Stately is the word, isn’t it. Excellent photos. Love the view onto the grounds👌
