    Another place to visit. Not much in the way of gardens but the new roof lights in the refurbished Orangery restaurant are a vision :D ;)

    Wellsbourne,about 4miles from Stratford upon Avon.(about 40 minutes flying time from you). Two weeks ago the morning weather report was filmed there, they made sure we weren't in the background shot but I did give a crew member this web address.

    Was that the one when it was pouring with rain, or the one when it was freezing cold?

    The Park is open this weekend and entry is free.
    Everything is open except the Main house.
    Father Christmas for the young ones(advance booking) Carriage rides and loads more.
    And I take it back about the gardens,I had a little wander this morning and the park is full of deer and old breed sheep, the lake has Swans and the Kingfishers were out in numbers.
