点评:We arrived at Kentwell at 11am, opening time and loved it so much we didn't leave until 4pm, closing time.
We found the atmosphere very welcoming and easy - we were free to wander around house, gardens and farm at will. On the farm there were numerous sheep with new born lambs, pigs, loveable piglets which ran all around the farm, and peahens and peacocks. Also, authentically re-assembled Tudor buildings - the Tudor worker's house looked remarkably realistic and uncomfortable!
Gardens and avenues of trees are well laid out - the Pied Piper of Hamlin topiary hedge is impressive in its size and detail. The gardener was a pleasure to chat with.
An attractive moat around the house teems with fish, large and small.
Two of the three wings of the house are open to visitors. They contain recreations of the Tudor kitchens and many varied items of interest collected by the owner who we are told pays a lot of attention to all the property. The rooms have large, detailed and interesting written descriptions of their contents, authored, it seems, by the owner.
All in all, Kentwell is a delightful, charming, informative and interesting day out.
翻译:我们上午11点(开门时间)到达肯特韦尔,非常喜欢这里,直到下午4点(关门时间)才离开。
我们觉得这里的氛围非常温馨舒适——我们可以随意在房子、花园和农场里漫步。农场里有很多羊和刚出生的小羊羔、猪、在农场里跑来跑去的可爱小猪,还有雌孔雀和雄孔雀。此外,还有真实复原的都铎式建筑——都铎工人的房子看起来非常逼真,但又让人感觉很不舒服!
花园和林荫道布局合理——汉林的花衣魔笛手修剪树篱的规模和细节令人印象深刻。园丁很乐意与我们交谈。
房子周围有一条美丽的护城河,里面游满了大大小小的鱼。
房子的三个侧翼中有两个对游客开放。它们包含都铎式厨房的复原模型,以及主人收藏的各种有趣的物品,据说主人对这处房产非常用心。房间里有详尽有趣的文字描述,描述内容丰富,似乎是房主撰写的。总而言之,肯特韦尔是一个令人愉快、迷人、信息丰富且充满趣味的一日游目的地。
