Chicken bald back

Thought I would share this with you all, in case any of you are near enough to visit over Easter. OH and I went last Friday and had a great time. Such a fabulously historical place and so atmospheric!

I managed to take over 100 photos, so it was a struggle whittling it down to a reasonable amount

That's somewhere I've always meant to go, your pictures have inspired me to crack on and go especially as we have EH membership.

I dont like large numbers of school groups so maybe a weekend or holiday time would be better in this case. I generally try to visit places during the week.

Oh, you must pay a visit, patsylabrador! It is huge and will take an age to get round. There are little doorways and secret bits everywhere. We squeezed through a very low doorway from the outside of one of the huge towers, to find ourselves looking up into what were the medieval toilets

 

The Elizabethan garden is all scented plants and flowers, and the huge two tier birdcage is full of canaries, singing away. It really is a great place to visit if you like your ruins!

We're members and have been several times - often take visitors there (especially Americans who are blown away).

There's a pub in the village (http://www.clarendonarmspub.co.uk/) which did really nice food at reasonable prices.

Looks wonderful -thanks for sharing. We did visit when ES was 7 months old. As he is now 9.5 we are probably due another trip....at least this time I wont be worried about finding somewhere quiet to feed him

 

This is on our list for the summer as its only a toddle up the M40....looking forward to it!
