We
stopped
off
at
Charlecote
park
during
our
travels
from
our
holiday
in
the
Peak
District.
Initial
thoughts
were
stunning
grounds,
well-kept
and
located
in
a
peaceful/tranquil
area,
and
it
only
got
better.
There
is
a
walk
from
the
admissions
building
to
the
site,
which
includes
crossing
a
road,
and
following
a
stoney
path
up
to
the
gate
house.
As
you
approach
the
gatehouse
on
your
left
is
a
enclosed
outhouse
toilet
block
for
public
use.
As
you
pass
through
the
gate
house
you
are
greeted
to
a
spectacular
walled
garden
which
leads
onto
the
house
itself.
The
house
is
your
typical
Tudor
style
manor,
but
in
brilliant
condition.
As
you
reach
the
walkway
to
the
front
door,
you
have
two
gates
either
side
which
lead
on
to
different
parts
of
the
grounds.
To
the
left
are
more
buildings,
the
main
cafe
area
and
gift
shop,
further
on
is
the
carriage
house
with
preserved
carriages
inside
for
public
view
only.
Unfortunately
the
bridge
that
leads
onto
the
greater
woodland
area
does
not
permit
dogs
(even
on
leads)
as
the
trust
is
working
to
support
the
local
deer
population.
However,
the
views
are
stunning
and
if
your
as
lucky
as
us
you
may
see
the
deer
gracing
close
by.
To
the
right
of
the
house
is
the
Victorian
kitchen
and
a
small
cottage
made
entirely
out
of
branches
and
other
forms
of
wood,
nicknamed
'Grannys
summerhouse'.
Unfortunately,
we
did
not
have
time
to
tour
the
house,
however
we
intend
on
returning
if
we
are
back
in
the
are
again.
Overall,
a
lovely,
picturesque
national
trust
site,
perfect
for
couples
and
or
families.
An
ideal
stop
if
journeying
up
or
down
the
country.
