Leaving the road we head along the tree-lined track around the edge of the estate.
The view of the lake is disappointing.
The gardens around the estate appear to be between seasons.
Some interesting carvings as we leave the woods behind.
More carvings.
A pretty looking building.
The knott garden is well maintained.
The 'castle' isn't as well maintained.
Approaching the Golden Gates.
A closer look at the gates.
The path talkes us across the field and into the village of Thulston.
