Upon arrival at the venue, we received a warm welcome from the guides before being divided into small groups for our tour of the ground floor and “below stairs”.
We also were shown inside the historic chapel in the grounds of the state before enjoying lunch and free time at the nearby Garden Centre. - Sue Russell
“Thank you for a very special day out on a gorgeous, warm autumn day”. - Viv Hill
