Gawthorpe Hall
I love this place, so easy on the eye, one simple photo does the trick.
Fountains Abbey
Just 2 pictures from the Abbey, the below being the vaulted ceiling within the Abbey. The Abbey grounds are extensive, but as poor Simon as very poorly (I didnt realise how bad) we didnt make the most of the day.
This is the house within the grounds, with a great photo exhibition inside!!

Cragside
This is 2 of a really bad set of photos - mostly the dark weather and my little camera just couldnt cope with it, which is a shame. Cragside is an amazing place though and we definitely will go back when its reopened and the weather is a little better!
The above is the gateway from the courtyard, below is the front door.
Belton House
Gorgeous Country house featured in Pride and Prejudice. Its just outside of Grantham in Lincolnshire. Its the ancestral home fo the Brownlow family, who also had a home in Lurgan, Northern Ireland, where I coincidentally the week before!
The greyhounds are conencted to the Brownlow family, as they owned a very famous and successful Greyhound, Master McGrath. I have visited his memorial in Lurgan and also got to see the Hare heads that he 'caught' in his races.
