Historic area, here we come.
As soon as we make it through the Colonial Parkway underpasses…..
Which were quite something in and of themselves.
A few more paths….
And we’re there.
As you can see, there’s a lot to explore.
But first?
Some cows.
Who refused to smile for the camera no matter how hard I tried.
Next up? The Governor’s Palace….
An impressive place they don’t let you inside without a guide, so we killed some time strolling the grounds.
Which were impressive as well.
Of course all that strolling made some of us weary.
No…
It wasn’t me.
But how about that arbor?
I’d love one of those in our backyard.
Along with the full staff of gardeners required to trim, train and prune it as well.
Still strolling, we found the maze.
And promptly got lost in it.
Thankfully 2 ten year olds were in there as well….
And pointed us to the exit.
If I’d known you could climb up here….
And over look the whole thing?
I would have sent the husband in alone and shouted directions.
Maze completed, we headed back to the Palace for our tour.
It seems the cows were only interested in some hay – at the moment.
Perhaps (next time) come prepared? ~smirk

I carry a 40lb purse as it is… I think a bale of hay would tip the scale to ridiculous.

That is one absolutely gorgeous garden! The maze and those tress though, who wouldn’t want that kind of garden in their own yard? Well, like you said along with a gardener to do all the work.

As long as I have a gardening staff? I’ll take two.

Excuse me, don’t mind me, just looking for a hint someone dropped…
Hey, nice hedging!
Right, perhaps it was in the maze… carry on.

Nothing like a good maze to make you feel navigationally inadequate…..

Or, in Mrs Bryntin’s case, nothing like being navigationally inadequate for absolutely anywhere feel like a maze.

Scone Palace had a maze too. I just looked at the outside.

We’re all about the experience. Of course we’d still be there if it weren’t for the ten year olds…

A beautiful place to visit. Your photos do it justice. The last one of the mansion reminds me of National Treasure when we see how the characters played by Nicolas Cage & Diane Kruger spent their reward money.

Is the goal of the maze to go in and get out, or was there a cold beer in the center?

Get out alive was the goal. But damn… I like your idea better.
