Ooh, if you're EH and ever up near Yorkshire, try and go visit Fountain's Abbey. It's an absolutely beautiful ruined abbey with pretty grounds and a couple of lakes, and there's a lovely Turner painting of part of the abbey at sunset in the National Gallery.

Does get rather busy and full of families with small children in the summer though.

does sound lovely though - it might be worth me subscribing to EH as well - although first i should really try and get a little bit of value out of the NT one..

chuck me your NT book sometime and I'll circle a load of good places to visit - i've prolly been to most of the places they own in south-east, south-central and north-east england and various others over the years :D

cheers, will try nd remember to do that :)

Great - I think I know the Turner painting you are talking about... Maybe he had some scetches of it in the Tate Britain aswell. Have done most of EH around London and the ones in Bath, Canterbury and Cambridge so far... Eltham Palace is my favourite of the ones around here.

It might well be Tate Britain - I can never remember which of the two has all the Turner's.

I've been wanting to go to Eltham Palace for ages but not made it yet :(

Well, not much to keep you from doing it, only a busride from Lewisham... Pictures are here http://trencavel.livejournal.com/68326.html#cutid1
