Anglesey Abbey

We started to get a bit 'cabin feverish' today so W suggested we had a trip to Anglesey Abbey, near Cambridge.  We always enjoy visiting as the gardens are lovely and varied, the house is interesting and there is a water mill, Lode Mill, in the grounds that you can visit and buy flour that has been milled there.  This is the walk up to the mill with the mill stream to the left.

I've added some extras; an impressive display of silver birch trees in the Winter garden; a view of the house itself, and evidence that The Queen herself was not averse to a bit of graffiti in her younger days!  The house was bought by Lord Fairhaven in 1926 who used it for lavish shooting weekends and entertaining, and it became a bit of a tradition for guests to sign a window in the library using a diamond tipped pen.
