A well-earned visit to the Tea Rooms!
It's a beautiful house. I was amazed at the lack of other people touring. Were you just lucky, or was it really that quiet? It reminded me of an afternoon that is a treasured memory. I visited Burton Agnes on a day when there were few, if any, other tourists.....and we could sit on a chair there too!
ReplyDeleteIt was a Friday when we visited, perhaps weekends may be busier. Fortunately the Estate is huge and can accommodate lots of visitors.
