点评:We were looking for somewhere to visit within about an hour's drive of home and googling turned up Delapré Abbey. What a find! We had a wonderful day, helped by gorgeous weather. Entry to the extensive grounds and parking is free - it was packed with people walking, running, walking dogs, families exploring...
A visit to the house costs £5 and is well worth the money. You can wander round on your own or take a guided tour that lasts about an hour. We decided on this and it really added to the experience. Our guide was very knowledgeable and presented the information is a humorous, tongue-in-cheek way that was very refreshing. Every volunteer we met was super helpful and friendly and they clearly all love working there and what they do. You are encouraged to touch and look closely, there is lots of hands-on stuff for children, very few roped-off areas and do not touch signs - such a refreshing change from so many places. There are loads of events throughout the year aimed at all kinds of interests and ages. We had lunch in the café and despite being incredibly busy, the food was served quickly and was very good quality, fresh and tasty, with generous portions, with the exception of the cakes on display, which seemed a bit miserly in size for the price. We are looking forward to another visit in the future.
翻译:我们想找一个离家大约一小时车程的地方参观,在谷歌上搜索后,我们找到了德拉普雷修道院。真是个好地方!天气非常好,我们度过了美好的一天。进入广阔的场地和停车都是免费的——那里挤满了散步、跑步、遛狗、探索的家庭……
参观房子需要 5 英镑,非常值得。您可以自己四处闲逛,也可以参加大约一小时的导游团。我们决定这样做,这确实增加了体验。我们的导游知识渊博,以一种幽默、诙谐的方式呈现信息,非常令人耳目一新。我们遇到的每一位志愿者都非常乐于助人和友好,他们显然都喜欢在那里工作和他们所做的事情。鼓励您触摸和仔细观察,这里有很多适合儿童动手的东西,很少有用绳索隔开的区域和禁止触摸的标志——与很多地方相比,这是一个令人耳目一新的变化。全年都有大量针对各种兴趣和年龄段的活动。我们在咖啡馆吃午餐,尽管店里非常忙,但食物上菜很快,质量很好,新鲜可口,份量很足,除了展示的蛋糕,看起来尺寸有点小,价格也不太合适。我们期待着将来再来。
