    Art Collections

    I visited during a National art exhibition, which, although not my favourite pastime, I thoroughly enjoyed and well worth my visit. Refreshments are served, which I thought were of a good standard and relatively in-expensive.

    It's not a national trust property! It is maintained (I believe) by the heritage trust.
