点评:We enjoyed a superb tour round Haddo House today and Charlotte, our guide, had such an amazing knowledge of the House, it’s history, and the history of the Gordon family. This House is often overlooked as everybody heads for the Castles but honestly - do yourselves a favour and add this place to your tour. There is a rich history of connections to royalty, prime ministers and other politicians. Most of the house has original furniture and the library is stunning with its collection of historic books. There’s a strong connection to Canada as John Hamilton-Gordon was Governor General of Canada. There’s an amazing 204 piece dinner service all hand painted in Canada and no 2 pieces are the same. And there’s a shop and cafe on site and lovely walks round the gardens and adjacent Country Park.
翻译:今天,我们享受了一次精彩的哈多庄园之旅,我们的导游夏洛特对这座庄园及其历史以及戈登家族的历史了如指掌。这座庄园经常被人们忽略,因为大家都去城堡游玩,但说实话 - 最好把这个地方加入到您的行程中。这里与皇室、总理和其他政治家有着悠久的历史联系。庄园的大部分家具都是原装的,图书馆收藏着令人惊叹的历史书籍。庄园与加拿大有着密切的联系,因为约翰·汉密尔顿·戈登曾担任加拿大总督。庄园里有一套令人惊叹的 204 件餐具,全部在加拿大手绘,每件餐具都是独一无二的。庄园里有一家商店和咖啡馆,您可以沿着花园和邻近的乡村公园散步。
