Departed hotel at 9.30am for trip home. Crossed the Humber Bridge in blinding sun for the short trip to Wentworth Castle in Barnsley.
Actually not a Castle as it's called but a large house fit for an Earl. Loads of history but today's visit was all about the 600 acres of woodland and gardens.
Although everything is still in winter mode there was still something spectacular about these grounds which saddens me to understand the grounds are closing at Easter for financial reasons, sums don't add up. Pleased I had the opportunity to visit today.
Arrived home at 6.30pm after a good three days away.
