| 説明 | Cirencester park is the home of the Bathurst family. The house is not open to the public. Behind the high wall stands a spectacular yew hedge, which was planted in 1720 and is 40 feet high. The annual trimming in July was featured in both The Times and The Daily Telegraph in 1991. Park Street leads round to Cecily Hill, at the top of which is the main entrance to the park, one of the largest in England. The public is allowed on foot or horseback every day from 8.00am to 5.00pm or as stated on the gates. Cars, motorcycles and bicycles are not permitted.The park and the woodlands were laid out and planted by the first Earl Bathurst starting in 1714, with the help of his friend, the poet Alexander Pope. From the entrance gates on Cecily Hill, the Broad Ride is laid out for a mile and a quarter between chestnut trees, which lead up to the Seven Rides. Here, seven rides meet together to form a Ronde Point which has fine views across the Cotswold landscape. The first Earl Bathurst built a little summer house feature for his friend and adviser Alexander Pope. The famous poet loved to sit here and muse, and it is said that many of his famous poems were written here, hence the name of Pope’s Seat. It is one of the charming folly buildings which adorn Cirencester Park. |
