Houghton Hall 1; House and Walled Garden

Helen and I are off on a day trip to Norfolk to visit Houghton Hall. 

Houghton Hall is a country house in the parish of Houghton and now the residence of the 7th Marquess of Cholmondeley; it was originally constructed in the 1720s for Britain's first Prime Minister, Sir Robert Walpole.  The Hall is surrounded by extensive parkland and features notable attractions, including an award-winning Walled Garden. 

We explore the Hall and Walled Garden; they are both very beautiful - see captions on the photos.Read more
