29 March 2009 - Montacute House

Clock change day and an afternoon visit to Montacute house.

A long view of the house.

The northern courtyard.

The eastern aspect of the house from within Montacute park.

A similar view but from further away showing the two pavilions or “Pudding Houses”.

In this view of the eastern side of the house you can see the heraldic stained glass windows in the library on the first floor.

Mistletoe in one of the trees in the garden.

All of the decorative trees have been recently pruned and shaped.

The fountain in any garden is always a place to linger.

Another view of the house from within the parkland.
