We wanted to see something beautiful today.. so took a car and drove to Essex and Audley End House.
It is one of the most amazing places I have yet seen.
Very grand still, but it is now only third of what it has been on it´s biggest.
Roomes where big but very cosy, and stables where amazing too, accommodating 3 horses.
Garden was beautiful, and little river near the house with it´s black and white swan was like icing on cake.
Audley end house was ones palace, in all but renowed as one of the finest Jacobean houses in England. It is currently in stewardship of English Heritage though remains the family seat of the lords Braybrooke.
