Reflection of The Orangerie within the magnificent grounds of Dunham Massey near Altrincham in north-west England. This 300 acre estate (a National Trust property since 1976), includes a deer park and the former home of the last Earl of Stamford - an impressive Georgian mansion which was used as a military hospital during WWI.
The mansion is surrounded by a moat
The garden tour guide was a wealth of information and he made the walk very interesting.
The vibrant red tall Tulips featured often
as did the ever-appealing Bluebells
After an hour's meandering, we headed for the tea rooms which offered delicious food and were doing a roaring trade!
This was the view through one of the windows.
I hope you enjoyed your "sample" visit here too, as I link up with
James' Weekend Reflection

The pool reflection is lovely as are the deer!
Aah, the fields of bluebells - a nice England memory!
Thanks for the lovely tour of this beautiful house and garden.
Thanks for the tour of yet another place that I have never been to. It still amazes me how much there is to see in this crowded island.
I was so surprised when I saw the title of your post. This is one of my favourite NT properties. My mother is in a nursing home a few miles away and when I visit, we usually end up at Dunham Massey for a walk around the gardens and a meal in the old restaurant(not the new characterless one). So I just loved your post.
a beautiful reflection.
been a while since we visited Dunham Massey - it was always busy
gorgeous place. Lovely reflections and deer. :)
Love the reflection in the circle pond!
