点评:Yes this is an expensive day out, but you can help yourself by prebooking on line, something that was very easy and we did the day before, and if you visit off peak and decline the extra donation costs it works out just over £15 per adult for the gardens and farm (we didn’t bother with the house), with the £7.50 parking charge thrown in. And for those tech savvy the ticket email allows you to load the tickets onto your smartphone wallet and you then just waive your phone at all the various ticket booths during your visit.
Is it worth that amount? Absolutely yes and frankly at that price point it’s excellent value. What is referred to as “the gardens” is an enormous landscaped area of beauty. To me the whole area more resembled a wonderful engineering project than a garden. There are many superlatives that I won’t repeat except to highlight the area that genuinely blew me away which was the area indicated on the map as “the rockery”. Now, I’ve seen some rockeries in my time, in fact I’ve built my own at previous homes, so I wasn’t expecting this. This isn’t a rockery, it’s a reclaimed stone quarry, absolutely fabulous.
翻译:是的,这是昂贵的一天,但你可以通过在线预订来节省开支,这很容易,我们前一天就预订了,如果你在非高峰期参观并拒绝额外的捐赠费用,那么花园和农场的成人费用将超过 15 英镑(我们没有去房子),还需支付 7.50 英镑的停车费。对于那些精通技术的人来说,通过购票电子邮件,你可以将门票加载到你的智能手机钱包中,然后在参观期间,你只需在各个售票亭挥动手机即可。
它值这么多钱吗?绝对值,坦率地说,在这个价位上,它物超所值。所谓的“花园”是一片美丽的景观区。对我来说,整个区域更像是一个美妙的工程项目,而不是花园。有很多极好的形容词,我不会重复,只是为了强调真正让我震惊的区域,即地图上标记为“假山”的区域。现在,我见过一些假山,事实上,我在以前的家里也建过假山,所以我没想到会这样。这不是假山,而是回收的采石场,绝对棒极了。
