I've taken a coach full of children to visit there and been charged per child aboard the coach to park, so I know what you mean about the disappointment aspect! It's very similar to Castle Howard by the look of your photos,anyway. That's a cheaper trip, looks very good.Simplesistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13790483626848450152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-7362651891691762772015-02-09T14:40:05.361+00:002015-02-09T14:40:05.361+00:00Hello Linda.

I was passing through once and thought I would take a break there, changed my mind when I saw how much it was to park. Only wanted to stay an hour and take some photo's. Bit disappointed.

There 's lots of large houses that are open to the public all around in North Yorkshire and all worth a look at at least once. I have a friend who swears by the Wetwang fish & chip shop but I have never tried it. Rocky looks so proud and grand sitting in his stroller on his outings, he is a darling little dog and so pleased you have him back again.<br />DannekeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-21489735472137980342015-02-07T18:32:24.514+00:002015-02-07T18:32:24.514+00:00What a fantastic place!

Does he need his buggy simple because of old age or has he something else wrong with him now. He's a lovely fellow, I'm sure he appreciates his time with you when you go to so much trouble for him, they do know and understand don't they.<br /><br />Love the robin picture too :-)Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04177854521955532744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-11551180015215812792015-02-07T10:42:29.181+00:002015-02-07T10:42:29.181+00:00Amazing photos!

Castle Howard is so near yet I have never been, I think because it always seems expensive but now I know you can walk around the grounds we may do that half term. Have you been to Temple Newsome in Leeds? Much cheaper to get in and look around if you enjoy history. Lots of art work and interesting artifacts to look at. Rocky is adorable, glad you are seeing more of him.
