Blaise Castle Estate


Sunday, January 27 - Ian and I had breakfast in bed and then caught the bus to Henbury to see the Blaise Castle Estate. The estate is a 650 acre park with fields, forests, a gorge and a castle. The Castle is actually a folly built in 1766. There is also an 18th century mill and an estate house which now acts as a museum. It was a beautiful day with lost of sunshine. There were lots of Brits enjoying the playground and the walking trails. Ian and I hiked around for awhile before having a picnic lunch. After lunch we did some more walking, had an ice cream and soaked up the sun. Just before heading home we strolled through the museum. It was wonderful to have some sun and a break from the city.
