Along the Bridleway.

Along the Bridleway.
Researching the family history in Downton took us to this farmhouse. The farm had been in the family for many generations but we couldn't find a road leading to it. Luckily there was a bridleway, so off we went and a mile along the track we were so delighted to see this beautiful old house! We did think about claiming it but on second thoughts just took the pictures ;-) My four times great grandfather was born here and because of their Wills we were able to gather a lot of information. They were Yeoman Farmers.

That is the only trouble Christien. It takes us over 3 hours to get to Folkestone. Can't believe how quick it is once we reach there though!! I still remember how nice your area is and would love to visit again one day.

La mansión es hermosa y aparentemente en buen estado. Parece enclavada en un lugar donde la naturaleza aún se muestra auténtica. No llega el metro pero todo no se puede tener. Color rojo dominante en las fachadas inglesas antiguas. El verde de la naturaleza vivo. Las paseantes por los caminos que me gusta transitar, sin agobios de vehículos y personas. En todo caso una visita emocionante.
