Visit to Attingham Park on Tuesday 29th April.
The group met up in glorious sunshine for the visit to Attingham Park and after leaving at 8.30 am we were at the venue two hours later.
We were met on arrival by a NT member of staff, Will, who took time to give us maps, information and all the details needed for us to make the most of the day.
The property is the second most visited NT site in the country and in the lovely sunshine there was plenty to enjoy.
The Mansion proved popular with some members joining organised tours or a Tour of Hidden Attingham which allowed visits to rooms and areas usually closed off to the public.
Members made the most of the estate itself walking by the river and through beautiful countryside, on walks of varying distances.
There was still time for a cafe stop and a visit to the NT shop before gathering at the coach for the return journey.
A really god day out!!
A big thank you to Mick, our coach driver, who found an alternative route from the A50 /M1 junction when the road signs displayed that the M1 had delays of over an hour because of a lorry fire!
We arrived back safely in Hucknall by 7.15 having enjoyed a very good visit.
The next visit takes us to Beninborough Hall near York on Wednesday 28th of May.
