Situated on a steep Conwy valley hillside a few miles south of LLandudno. Established in the late 19th century by entrepreneur Henry Pochin and developed in collaboration with the National Trust since 1949.
One of the Trust's most popular sites, it was very busy when we visited on a hot September day. We saw only a small proportion of the whole estate.
Charlecote Park is a grand 16th-century country house, surrounded by its own deer park, on the banks of the River Avon near Wellesbourne, east of Stratford-upon-Avon and south of Warwick, Warwickshire, England. It has been administered by the National Trust since 1946 and is a Grade I listed building.
The Lucy family owned the land since 1247. Charlecote Park was built in 1558 by Sir Thomas Lucy, and Queen Elizabeth I stayed in the room that is now the drawing room. Although the general outline of the Elizabethan house remains, nowadays it is in fact mostly Victorian. Successive generations of the Lucy family had modified Charlecote Park over the centuries, but in 1823, George Hammond Lucy (High Sheriff of Warwickshire in 1831) inherited the house and set about recreating the house in its original style.

The National Trust is a heritage and nature conservation charity and membership organisation in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
The Trust was founded in 1895 by Octavia Hill, Sir Robert Hunter and Hardwicke Rawnsley to "promote the permanent preservation for the benefit of the Nation of lands and tenements (including buildings) of beauty or historic interest". It has since been given statutory powers, starting with the National Trust Act 1907. Historically, the Trust acquired land by gift and sometimes by public subscription and appeal, but after World War II the loss of country houses resulted in many such properties being acquired either by gift from the former owners or through the National Land Fund.
One of the largest landowners in the United Kingdom, the Trust owns almost 250,000 hectares (620,000 acres; 2,500 km2; 970 sq mi) of land and 780 miles (1,260 km) of coast. Its properties include more than 500 historic houses, castles, archaeological and industrial monuments, gardens, parks, and nature reserves. Most properties are open to the public for a charge (members have free entry), while open spaces are free to all. The Trust had an annual income of nearly £724 million in 2023/24, largely from membership subscriptions, donations and legacies, direct property income, profits from its shops and restaurants, and investments. It also receives grants from a variety of organisations including other charities, government departments, local authorities, and the National Lottery Heritage Fund.

Pictures from my Easter trip to the zoo. It was a great day to go, and it had been years since I had been… things really changed!
We had a terrific holiday staying at the Landmark Trust's splendid Lock Cottage, at Stoke Pound, which is the start of the climb up to Tardebigge on the Worcester Birmingham Canal. [www.landmarktrust.org.uk/search-and-book/properties/lock-...]
The cottage is between Locks 31 and 32, as you climb up to Lock 57 at Tardebigge.
This is the first one of these I've seen in forever.. At one time, all gas pumps had these little windows in them, with little balls in them that swirled around, proving to the Doubting Thomas in us that gasoline was in fact being pumped into our cars.. Without these, you just have to assume that the pump is actually moving gasoline through the hose until you get back into the car and check the gage.
But now they have those "vapor recovery" boots on them - and how do we know they aren't "recovering" more than just vapor? What's to keep them from sucking back just a little gasoline from each tank - the way the butcher used to "accidentally" rest a thumb on the scale as he weighed your beef...
Ah - paranoia - it never lets you rest, does it...
