Woodchester Mansion

 

My dear friend Kate invited us to Woodchester Mansion for a country walk on Wednesday. Woodchester Mansion is a site of special scientific interest, it was abandoned in the 1870's and was left for many year to decay.

With help from English Heritage, the Heritage Lottery Fund and other grant-giving trusts the Woodchester Mansion Trust now organises colleges, and other organisations to come and work and get experience while renovating the mansion. Woodchester Mansion Trust currently provides on-site training for the Prince’s Trust’s Get Into Heritage scheme and for The Prince of Wales’s Building Crafts Apprentices Scheme

There are many walks to take around the grounds, we spent a couple of very pleasant hours walking with the children. We just about got back to the cars before it got dark!

Barry and I are now planning to go back there in the summer and with just £2 to park it is a very inexpensive day out

Take care, Natalie xx
