Still marking time before visiting the brewery I went to Kingston Lacey, a Nat Trust property north of Wimborne. I get overwhelmed by big houses – I like places more accessible. Kingston Lacey was one of the overwhelming ones. I went to the local mill (also Nat Trust) in which I was much more engaged.
Kingston Lacey
This amazing staircase should be open to the elements (and would be if it was in Italy)
The garden was full of these wire sculptures – the hares were the best
and the ravens second best
but the best thing in the garden was this subtle topiary.
Then on to the Mill – a wonderful brick building with water driven milling and latterly steam driven but with the water driven bit just abandoned
