Dyrham Park was built at the end of the 17th century for Sir William Blathwayt. It's our local National Trust property and Emma has been here countless times as well as worked here over two winters pruning in the gardens. This place is beautiful and the house and the garden have been used for many films over the years including Remains of the Day. There is a huge deer park where you can occasionally see the deer grazing. It's a timeless corner of England.
This view is the original front of the house and the lawn was the grand driveway leading up to the house. The Trust are in the process of changing the gardens at the moment with new planting and some new layouts. This week we will show you the church and graveyard which is fascinating (if you like graveyards - which we strangely do!)

ReplyDeleteTHis is an amazing place , beautiful indeed and the grass is so green... seems unreal ;) I 've loved remains of the day , book and movie !
ReplyDeleteExactly, it's a beautiful place! I love the colour of the grass. It is so fresh, in the second photo it looks like a football pitch:)!
ReplyDeleteWow. That is beautiful. I really like the lush green to dark contrast in the first photo. It frames it well.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog. Your photos are VERY interesting and I just love the old buildings and old architecture and I also strangely like the graveyard photos. The grounds in these pictures are so lush green and so vibrant with color. Very beautiful place. Every place has it's own beauty, just a different kind of beauty. Good luck fighting against the BNP! That is so sad...
