Friday we visited Ickworth House and Gardens. As you can see above, the house is very interesting, with a big rotunda in the middle flanked by 2 wings. We really enjoyed the gorgeous gardens (in spite of a very chilly wind), and there were some great paintings in the house by Titian, Velázquez and Gainsborough. Below: a shot of the orangery (which is in the west wing of the house) taken from a field of bluebells in the Spring Garden. (Did you know that 70% of all the world's bluebells are in Great Britain?)
