Hinton Ampner - National Trust

A fantastic place, I especially love the countryside photo! I have never before heard of Hinton Ampner, it looks well worth a visit.

Glad you like the shot Rosa. The gardener has been taken away and shot (twice)!

National Trust properties belong to the nation. Most are given after the owners die, or sometimes when they can't afford the upkeep. The NT maintain them on our behalf. I think it's a pretty good way of preserving history..........not all properties are grand mansions and gardens, some are quite ordinary places of historical interest. The trust also manages land and farms (with tenants) and stretches of our coast amongst others!

Glad you like the shot Gudrun...............and the place. Hinton Ampner is only a 30 min drive from my house, so It's very easy to visit and a nice way to spend the day. It will be much better in the summer for the flowers etc and the houses etc will be fully open after the Covid restrictions are lifted.

Wechselhaftes Wetter kann eine Herausforderung für den Fotografen sein, aber auch die Chance für abwechslungsreiche Bilder. Du hast die Herausforderung bestens gemeistert, Keith!
