National Trust
I’ve been a member of the National Trust for years now.
Some summers I manage to get out to one or two places, other years all I’ve managed to do is read the magazines they send me.
This year I’m planning to get around a decent few places and get a little more value out of my membership.
Today I headed for Petworth House. I’ve been here before but the other side of the estate for an outdoor summer concert. This time I was here to see the house on a grey, drizzling day.
The place is very impressive. The gardens are laid out by Capability Brown, there’s a room carved by Grinling Gibbons and the largest of all the National Trust art collections littered with Turners, Van Dyck and Reynolds.
Despite the weather the place was packed as a plant fair was on in the grounds.
If you go this way try the Stonemasons Inn across the road for some really nice food….
