Wentworth Castle Gardens

All fans of romanticism, architecture and the 18th century may be interested in this little hidden gem which I visited this weekend. Wentworth Castle is an italianate house sitting in a huge parkland, with extensive gardens which you can visit. The "castle" is actually a fake, built as a garden folly and named Addingham Castle after the nearest village. You can climb right up inside it for a fantastic view over the park. There's plenty to explore for one morning in the gardens, we didn't have time for the parkland but will be going back soon for more!

Ahoy!

For those who haven't yet visited my Poppet Minis website, here is one of my favourite dolls from last year. He was inspired by the likes of Horatio Hornblower and certain Jane Austen heroes.
