English Heritage have reopened a few properties and one was Wrest Park.
Wrest was built in the 1830's and was inspired by the buildings its owner saw in Paris. The house has had a chequered past and until recently was a research centre. In 2006 English Heritage started a massive restoration project.
Obviously the house is closed but that was not a problem as my reason for going is the gardens which are excellent. There is a variety of habitats.
There was an outside kiosk so I picked up a Coffee.
And obviously I didn't have the right lens ! Next time.....
I sat by the broad water and ate my soup.
At this point I heard Thunder in the distance so I wandered off.
And the rain started.
With the heavens opening I wandered home. Lovely place Wrest I will be back!
