Some pics from weekend in SE England

Here are a few pics of various places I visited this weekend - all historical sites and very beautiful in their own way.

Hope you like 'em! :)

Very nice pics, Shane. But you didn't tell us where they are. No fair, keeping us guessing like that.

So you must be a Nation Trust member

Recognised Cliveden home of the Astors, 3 and 4, now a hotel I believe. The other two are too far south for us to have visited, Bodiam Castle and Scotney Castle Garden are not in areas we get to, nice shots.

Thanks, guys!

Deryckb - you are spot on with the locations!

Yes, I joined the National Trust a few weeks ago and Uncle is also right - my GF is showing me some culture at last - well, in England anyway! I've seen a few great places in other countries but hardly anything in England, and it's amazing just how beautiful some of these sites are.....virtually on my own doorstep!

Just wait until she takes you to the North West, that's where the real culture is.
