At the weekend, we decided to visit Tatton Park, another wonderful venue in our National Trust handbook. There was a scarecrow festival on, with lots of them dotted around to search out, so Boo was delighted!
It was absolutely tipping it down, but it was nice to get out and explore, and the children enjoyed the many puddles..
And the Husband was impressed to spot some Star Wars scarecrows right at the end there, too..
The gardens were huge and extensive, but I admit the cold wind and rain did put us off staying out there for too long, so we retreated for lunch and talked about how lovely the gardens will all look in full bloom and on a dry day! We will be back!
You made it just before the sickness descended! It’s a shame about the weather, but that’s a theme at the moment isn’t it? Definitely looks worth a return visit in nicer weather 🙂
Definitely – it’ll be stunning, I’m sure 🙂
Ah boo to the rain but it looks like you all enjoyed yourselves! Good old NT properties, I just love em! #countrykids xx
They’re brilliant! Think we might go and explore another tomorrow…
Couldn’t help smiling at you all imagining the garden in full bloom. I look out at our garden and imagine the same! Scarecrow trails are such fun! #CountryKids
You just want to see it now, don’t you?!
definitely something different, boo too the bad weather though #countrykids
I know – it was sooo wet! Still fun, though 🙂
There are such lovely places to visit in the UK aren’t there! Those scarecrows look fab! Such a shame the weather wasn’t better! #countrykids
Yes, it’s so lovely there – we will be back!
The NT are so good at coming up with ways to entice families into their properties and despite the weather it’s obviously working. Let’s hope the weather picks up soon and we can all enjoy some extended time outdoors. Thanks for linking up and sharing your scarecrow trail with Country Kids.
They’re brilliant, and definitely keeps the kids’ interest. A dry day would be welcome..! Thanks for hosting x
Well done for braving the bad weather and making the most of your visit despite it. I must admit the first scarecrow has a rather questionable mound of straw coming from its trousers – or is that just me?!
Certainly looks like a place to revisit when the warmer weather arrives. #CoutnryKids
We have to brave the weather or I feel we’d never go out! Thanks x
That looks a great day out!!
Looks like you had so much fun x
It was great, though hoping it’ll be drier on our next visit! Thanks x
You were brave going on such a horrible day! Looks like you had fun though – love the idea of the Scarecrow festival.
It was en route to somewhere to break up the journey, so we had to just put up with the rain! It was good, though 🙂
