For an early walk this morning, I asked the hotel and was recommended to head north under the M4 to Gunnersbury Park; surprised to find such open space so close to the crazy busy London, motorway, etc! Our hotel is near to the tall tower on the right, with the curious top:
More than my walking, I discovered two “once amazing” mansions in the park (lots of background information here); here’s a couple of the photos I took:
In today’s misty morning, we drove into the city and headed for Norwich cathedral, a spectacular building more than 900 years old: this website states “Bishop Herbert laid the foundation stone at the very east end of the building in 1096”! We can see the spire, from our parking:
This morning we spent quite a few hours (and miles of walking) at Felbrigg Hall and gardens, quite a lovely place to spend some time! The hall interior is less impressive than Brighton Pavilion, but the benefit here is that visitors are allowed to take photos!
After touring the hall, we headed over to the walled garden:
Finished our visit with a 3+ mile walk around the estate, through meadows and woods – and sheep, with the hall imposing in the distance:
