点评:We visited Aydon Castle on Friday. We had prebooked and paid for our tickets online in the morning before we left the house.
Aydon castle is in the middle of countryside which is stunning.
However when we arrived to find we also had to pay for parking a was a little annoyed as we didn’t have any change in us and the machine wasn’t accepting card payments.
We walked up to the castle from the carpark. We knew it was going to be quiet as there was only one other car in the carpark. The lady let us pay for the carpark on our card once we got up to the castle. She was a lovely friendly lady and gave us some information about best routes around the castle, making sure we didn’t miss the back of the castle and the bluebells that had just recently came out, where we may possibly see some kestrals etc.
I’m always a bit disappointed with English heritage places. I always think they are overpriced and that they could do a lot more with the places rather than leaving them as an empty shell. The castle was beautiful and I think they could help bring it back to life a little bit to attract more people.
翻译:我们周五参观了艾登城堡。早上出门前,我们在网上预订并支付了门票。艾登城堡位于乡村中部,景色令人惊叹。然而,当我们到达时,发现我们还得支付停车费,这让我们有点恼火,因为我们身上没有零钱,而且机器不接受刷卡付款。我们从停车场走到城堡。我们知道那里会很安静,因为停车场里只有另一辆车。当我们到达城堡时,那位女士让我们用卡支付停车费。她是一位非常友好的女士,向我们介绍了城堡周围的最佳路线,确保我们不会错过城堡的背面和刚刚开放的蓝铃花,在那里我们可能会看到一些红隼等。我对英国遗产地总是有点失望。我总是认为它们的价格过高,他们可以对它们做更多的事情,而不是让它们空无一人。这座城堡很漂亮,我认为他们可以让它恢复一点生机,以吸引更多的人。
