点评:Wonderful visit ! Booked on a Cadw learning experience with the wonderful Wendy telling us much about the history of Tretower Court and then so much more about the use of plants - both herbs , spices and flowers in the kitchen, generally throughout the home and as medicines . Absolutely fascinating - they really did know a thing or two back in Medieval times - not to sure about drinking urine as a remedy against certain health problems , but, if it works for you …….. We had the opportunity to make our own concoctions using herbs, fruit, oils and vinegar and now I have my own herbal tea and lavender bags ! Wendy took us out into the grounds and explained methods of planting and how the plants were used in so many ways - even the sticky mistletoe berries have a purpose .
If you get the chance do book on one of these sessions should they be arranged again- hope so . No cafe facilities but we were given hot drinks and Welsh cakes during the course - they even catered for those with gluten intolerance !
A huge thank you to Ian , the Lead Custodian, he could not have been more helpful or more welcoming - as were the staff in the lovely little gift shop - so many exquisite little things to buy ! I will be back in the summer - Tretower Court is a real gem of a place - diolch o galon !
翻译:很棒的一次参观!预定了 Cadw 学习体验,很棒的 Wendy 向我们讲述了 Tretower Court 的历史,以及更多关于植物用途的信息 - 包括厨房里的草药、香料和鲜花,一般用于家庭和药物。绝对令人着迷 - 他们确实在中世纪知道一两件事 - 不确定喝尿是否可以作为治疗某些健康问题的药物,但是,如果它对你有用......我们有机会用草药、水果、油和醋制作自己的混合物,现在我有自己的草药茶和薰衣草包!Wendy 带我们到花园里,解释了种植方法以及植物的多种用途 - 即使是粘稠的槲寄生浆果也有用途。
如果您有机会预订其中一个课程,如果它们再次安排 - 希望如此。没有咖啡设施,但我们在课程期间得到了热饮和威尔士蛋糕 - 他们甚至为麸质不耐症患者提供餐饮服务!非常感谢首席管理员伊恩,他非常乐于助人,非常热情 - 可爱的小礼品店的工作人员也是如此 - 有很多精美的小东西可以买!我会在夏天回来 - Tretower Court 是一个真正的瑰宝 - diolch o galon!
