Another National Trust property we visited on our recent trip to East Anglia was Melford Hall. As is usual with the National Trust the Hall, grounds and gardens were well maintained as was the further estate. Below is a selection of images taken on this visit:
On this visit it appeared to be ‘peak daffodil’ with some beautiful blooms:
We followed up the visit to the house with a walk around the parkland following the mown paths. Near the start of the walk is a collection of old oak trees estimated to be between 800 and 1000 years old. Although they all looked alive, a couple seemed to be only just so:
I never cease to be amazed at the damage the trees can suffer yet they still grow:
This final panoramic view shows a line of trees coming into leaf. What doesn’t show in a photograph is the way they were glistening in the sun.
This was a lovely visit on a fine day. The volunteer staff at the visitor centre were very pleasant and helpful.
Finally a #imagedump of the photos taken used in my digital album:
