Petworth, West Sussex.
Petworth House (owned and managed by the National Trust) is a late 17th century Grade I listed country house, having been rebuilt in 1688 by Charles Seymour, 6th Duke of Somerset, and altered in the 1870s to the design of the architect Anthony Salvin. It is famous for the extensive art collection of George Wyndham, 3rd Earl of Egremont (1751-1837), and contains many works by his friend, J.M.W Turner.
Grade I listed on the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens, Petworth Park is owned and managed by the National Trust, and the wall around the 700 acre deer park is 14 miles long. The grounds are managed sustainably for wildlife and are protected under a Higher Level Stewardship agreement with Natural England. Petworth Park and Pleasure Grounds were transformed by Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown throughout the 1750s, the formal gardens being replaced with the graceful curves and wide sweeping vistas of a perfect ‘natural’ looking landscape. The Park and Pleasure Grounds were one of Capability Brown’s earliest large-scale commissions and considered by many to be his masterpiece, taking 12 years and no less than five contracts to complete.

I loved the expression of this wonderful horse in this, he is so into what he is doing.
Its a bit of a snapshot this one from Howden Show a couple of weeks ago. The horse & girl entertained us with some dancing & acrobatics.
The trust they had in each other was amazing
On the edge of the National Trust's Malham Tarn Estate, Janet's Foss is of particular conservation importance.
Foss is the old Scandinavian word for a waterfall or force. According to legend, Janet (or Jennet) queen of the local fairies, lives in a cave behind the waterfall. The cave was formed by limestone bedrock being dissolved and eroded by the action of water and then re-deposited on mosses growing at the lip of the fall. This has caused the remarkable but fragile tufa screen, which reaches to the plunge pool below.
Many years ago, the pool below the waterfall was used as a sheepwash. Sheep were driven into the water and washed before shearing in late June.
[...] Denn was wir sind, hat noch niemand verstanden
Und was du fühlst, passt in keinen Gedanken
Und wer du bist, wirst du niemals ergründen,
wenn du nur tust, was sich andere wünschen.
- Käptn Peng (Gelernt)

I have so many photos that I am just dumping into the New Rescue Family set, but I'll pull a few last photos for the front of the stream this morning.
