点评:The grounds (not the Palace ).
Dogs are not allowed in the Palace but they are allowed in the cafe and shop, and the grounds (on leads - there is a free running dog paddock).
The grounds includes a replica of "the Stone of Scone" and a lovely little chapel as well as a huge walled garden. This garden is being developed and its lack of finish is why I have only gone 4 stars, but the bits they have done include rose beds by David Austen and other interesting planting ( particularly the irises), which are beautiful. The rose beds would be best in July.
The majority of the grounds are taken up with a fabulous pinetum with established and new plantings. Bad backs and knees prevented us from exploring these fully , and the maze, but it was a great walk.
Other mini highlights were the graveyard and Pavillion.
The toilets at the cafe were considerably better than those in the grounds.
翻译:指的是宫殿的庭院(不是宫殿本身)。
宫殿内不允许携带宠物狗,但咖啡馆、商店和庭院(需拴绳——庭院内设有自由奔跑的狗狗活动区)允许携带宠物狗。
庭院内有“斯昆石”的复制品、一座精致的小教堂以及一个巨大的围墙花园。这个花园正在建设中,由于尚未完工,我只给了四星评价。不过,已完成的部分包括大卫·奥斯汀设计的玫瑰花坛和其他一些有趣的植物(尤其是鸢尾花),非常漂亮。玫瑰花坛在七月盛开最为壮观。
庭院的大部分区域被一个美丽的松树园占据,园内种植着各种成熟和新栽种的植物。由于背部和膝盖不好,我们无法完全探索松树园和迷宫,但这次散步仍然非常愉快。
其他亮点包括墓地和凉亭。
咖啡馆的洗手间比庭院里的洗手间要好得多。
