Our visit to Compton Verney was great fun. We went to see two exhibitions and the walk around the grounds was a delight.
Red elves to be found in the most unexpected places.
A Christmas tree on a small boat in the middle of the lake
Christmas lights over the bridge
A large cluster of lanterns on the lawn by the lake - this must look wonderful at night
As we approached the house we could see that it was decorated
with Christmas trees and lights
Inside in the foyer more Christmas trees, silver ones this time.
We saw the two exhibitions we had come to see and then continued our walk in the grounds.
One of Capability Browne's bridges in the distance
A very wintery landscape
We walked towards the lake
There were a lot of very excited children on the grounds, some of them playing here
We could see the house in the distance. We walked all around the grounds and then came back full circle
to the bridge and the lanterns.
The boat looked even prettier from here
The ice house was surrounded with lights
and some trees had red bows tied around their trunks
We followed another path that was all lit up
we followed the signs. At one point we were told we were 'nearly there'
another sign informed us that we had reached the 'North Pole' - a hut, a glowing fire
a cosy bench
a tin full of sweets. No wonder the kids were so excited.
