First stop - Tyntesfield - Victorian property, bit of a 'house in progress' with lots of ongoing work to catalogue the contents etc. It was wrapped in scaffolding for a couple of years while they redid the roof - interesting video of the 'unwrapping' here.
From there it was on to our base for the next three days - Bath itself - got to wander the Georgian streets in the sunshine - watch barges on the river - and marvel at the chandeliers in the Assembly Rooms:
Plus some eating, drinking and making merry of course!
Also visited Dyrham Park - a 17th-century mansion, garden and deer park - lovely house, nice gardens (great hedges - or should I say great topiary!) - dangerous ponds (for baby coots - sad story) - and, of course, the deer:
On our way home - final stop - Lacock Abbey:
- a quirky property (part abbey / part country house), situated in a picturesque village - all with the added fun of playing 'spot the tv / film location' . . .
