A Place to Picnic
The garden lays claim to being the earliest English landscaped garden, and the house to be the finest surviving Paladian mansion. With the elegant vistas, manicured lawns and statuary you too can pretend to be a 18th century landowner - who just happened to have invited lots of other people (and screaming kids) to share their humble abode. Go on, take a wind up gramophone and some cucumber sandwiches.
(The house costs £4 but the grounds are free)

post a commentIt's true, I've not got there yet.
But it's on the list now :)
Get there before dg, folk! There aren't many places in London he hasn't been. :)
I adore picnics. What would you pack, Ham? Are you a simple sandwiches man or melon soaked in sherry etc? lol
dg - there are great pickings around there.
lynn - I've been known to swing both ways. Although, to be honest, the full monty only happened when I was trying to impress.
We went on a picnic on Bank holiday Monday whilst viewing some classic cars at a show. It was sunny too!
