Wrest Park
House View
This last week I went to an English Heritage property this time it was Wrest Park, which is about an hour away from mine
Wrest Park
I was invited by my parents to do another visit to a historic place, not National Trust, but English Heritage, to visit Wrest Park in Bedfordshire, the house was quite grand from the outside, but not much in there apart from a couple rooms that were empty of any furniture and a grand staircase with paintings, a exhibition explaining the history of the property and one room that had furniture in it.
The grounds are the best part of the property with lots of statues, flowers and lots of good views.
We had lunch as well there was a good selection although the hot items like pasties and sausage rolls had sold out when were there so we had sandwiches and baguettes which game to £18 for the three of us
I got a couple items from the shop to
Guide Book - £5.50
Magnet - £3.75
I found that the house was not as good as similar houses that are open by the National Trust as they have more in them, most of the grounds were not gardens, so I think it would be somewhere if you were not interested in houses it would be for you
I found the items in the shop expensive compared to similar items in NT Shops, so sometimes EH is not better value
For more information about events and opening times is on their website
What places did you visit are you going to visit this year?
All admission prices and opening times are available on the English Heritage, App or on social media
*My parents are members of English Heritage, so my mum had a bring a friend for free ticket, so I did not pay my admission fee*
