Mottisfort

Second stop of the day.
How do you top Jane Austin?

Well Mottisfort Abbey was pretty close.

We found out what Saturday on a Bank Holiday is like. The carpark was a feral jungle and we only got in because Bernadette jumped out of the car and told a woman that was our spot. Check d afterwards and al the tyres and paint work was OK. Go Bern.

House is built on an old abbey and was left in good nick to the National Trust in the 50s.

Had a lovely time.Read more
