Walk around β€œ16th century BURGHLEY HOUSE and its LION BRIDGE” STAMFORD UK πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ ~ WednesdayWalk

in #hive-194913 β€’ 3 months ago

Hi all πŸ‘‹πŸ»πŸ˜Š

Join me today as we walk around a 16th century country home: BURGHLEY HOUSE, a walk over its LION BRIDGE and further over the ESTATE. Its location is in #STAMFORD ~ UNITED KINGDOM πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§

With this post I’m joining in at the Wednesday Walk challenge and Make me Smile challenge. That are hosted by @tattoodjay and @elizacheng every week on Wednesday.

‼️Have a look: Here in the Wednesday Walk Community if you want to join in!… the community is run by @tattoodjay.
Look at his last #Wednesdaywalk post.
It will tell you also the rules of joining at the Wednesday walk posts 😁 come join us! It is fun!

Today’s selection will be of 36 PHOTOGRAPHS
Date: 6 July 2023.
The Photographs in this post are all taken with my phone πŸ“±πŸ€“
I will follow the time stamps on them. So it looks like you are experiencing my #adventures on this #walk, to πŸ’ƒπŸ»πŸ’ƒπŸ»πŸ’ƒπŸ» #discover everything what I saw, like the little #details seen through my eyes.

Location of this estate we find on the following screenshots on google maps with the yellow arrow:

It is just next to the cute market town of Stamford I showed you recently.

Zooming in bit:


As you can see the estate is rather large…

More information about BURGHLEY HOUSE you find on their website : Burghley!

On Wikipedia you find the following information: Burghley House!

Let me show you what I saw on this walk now:

After we parked our car we walk towards this #magnificent house. It is gated with some stunning details.

Reaching through the gates to photograph, we get these views 😊 imagine how old this building is. Just wow!

You can also visit the inside of this house and explore its rooms and history. I have done so before… but today… we go for a walk outside, around the house, its estate 😊

We are walking over the paths, I look back after a while and see this view. It is just stunning. Today it was overcast and some rain clouds will come soon. Luckily we didn’t get wet 😊

A little bit further I discover some cannons that were standing in the distance. Let’s check out what that is all about.

I capture this photo… the sky fits perfectly with the cannons.

Looking further we see they are also building up a large podium. Something very cool is happening soon here. So we can’t walk everywhere.

Let’s walk towards the bridge we see:

Looking back we see Burghley House in the distance.

We see a sign with more information about the BRIDGE we are soon crossing. They restored it in 2022.

More information about this 18th century bridge you find in the following website: Lion Bridge restoration

It is soooo stunning and mesmerising 😊 let me show you what I mean… when I say I am mesmerised by it’s details.

We enter through the gate.

On the right of us we see a path going across the river:

This path is used by horses in an annual 3 day event/ competition : THE BURGHLEY HORSE TRIALS. See Horse trials 🐎 for more information
A worldwide well known large event ; β€œGrand slam of Eventing”. Source!

Walking to the other side of the bridge 😊

Zooming in a bit.

The other side of the bridge.

Looking at details… we go down. πŸ˜‰

My favourite photo of the day: one of the #lions 🦁 that are guarding the bridge. The sky is perfect here too, to get a #moody picture πŸ“Έ

The lions 🦁 are on 4 corners of the bridge.

The lion 🦁 on the other side. They are very mesmerising, don’t you think?

We go back and walk further over the estate now. Still areas we can not enter and we walk further around it.

All of this and the cannons are part of the BATTLE PROMS… a #concert with a #picnic and sometimes also a firework πŸŽ† display.

As we walk further we see this sign:

The #trees are indeed #ancient on this estate. So people do need to watch out for falling branches. Most of them have a wire around them… probably the ones that lose the most branches 🌳🌳🌳πŸͺ΅

I capture some of these giants 🌳🌳🌳

It is hard to capture how tall and thick they are.

Some details of one of the tree branches with BURGHLEY HOUSE in the background. 😊

We are getting closer to the house again.

On a bench we see a #gardener πŸ‘¨β€πŸŒΎ #sleeping πŸ’€
Sneaky capture…

We decided to get some coffees β˜•οΈβ˜•οΈ, well deserved after this long walk 😊

Nice to see they are thinking about the #bees 🐝

Looking around at this little coffee shop and outside space:

Many flowers around us that attract bees 🐝🐝🐝
I capture this #bee gathering nectar and pollen… in the last moments that we spend on this estate.

Thanks for coming along to discover something special today 😊


…and here I say that’s all for today’s post my friends.

I like this town. So much to do and see around there.
The football grounds are called stamford bridge but that is located in the city of London. So not in this town.

Thanks the views are stunning indeed.
