Charlecote Park - this is a fine home and grounds outside of Stratford Upon Avon where Shakespeare when he was a 'lad' was alledged to have poached deer from the Lucy estate. The National Trust has a fine theatrical video narrated by Dame Judi Dench which I really enjoyed. I also loved the huge kitchen with big copper pots and fine china. But my favourite was the scent garden. I wasn't the only one who loved it there...the butterflies were swarming it. A garden centre across the road deserved the long visit we gave it.
