PortMoresby ends the tale of her trip to England with the things she cannot do without – art, food, books and a visit to a beautiful house.
PortMoresby ends the tale of her trip to England with the things she cannot do without – art, food, books and a visit to a beautiful house.
PortMoresby visits Croome Court, a short drive from the Cotswolds, in Worcestershire, with an intriguing historic “hot wall” in the walled garden.
PortMoresby continues her progress through the Cotswolds with a visit to Chastleton House near Moreton-in-Marsh and is greeted with the words, “Chastleton is Wolf Hall.”
After a visit to William Morris’s Kelmscott Manor, PortMoresby crosses the River Thames to visit Buscot Park, with a stunning room dedicated to a Pre-Raphaelite painter and, unexpectedly, warriors in the garden.
PortMoresby continues her English adventures with a stop at Upton House, in Warwickshire, on the way to the Cotswolds.
With a week to spend in the Cotswolds, PortMoresby returns to a place she’s been before, Hidcote Manor Garden in Gloucestershire.
PortMoresby leaves the Thames Path and visits William Morris’s Red House, a milestone in the Arts & Crafts Movement in England.
PortMoresby’s walk along the Thames Path continues with a visit to one of the “most complete survivals of 17th century fashion and power.”
Liverpool’s Speke Hall is not your average stately home. Built in the 16th century and occupied into the 20th, it has a fascinating history.
A look at the tower of the Blickling Estate, Norfolk.
