UK - Castles & Palaces

My goodness, what a lovely house. Usually that formal style is too stuffy for me, but this is done just right. I could see me living there quite happily

Hi Guys,

I am a new registry here, but I have been visiting for a while. I have a question. Can anyone tell me where this is? I found it as I was browsing for UK castles to visit when I go to England again.

I don't recognise it, but if you search for Elizabethan or Jacobean houses you'll find many similar to the one in the picture.

It's Forde Abbey. It's in Dorset and it's open to visitors.

Thank you so much!

News about buckingham palace

"Is Buckingham Palace ugly?"

Forde Abbey is beautiful.
The gardens
I hope you do get to see it in Dorset, Vessy.

Buckingham Palace I think is more ugly than many other palaces, Kingcanut.
It lacks something beautiful - large grounds or detailed trims etc.
It is an iconic building even so, with something very stable and solid about it.
I'd still gratefully accept board and lodgings there.

Thank you, Paddy1311. 
I've enjoyed this forum.
Just seeing your name always makes me feel happy and youthful.
(Most Paddys in films are fun.)

Your welcome, Cloaked. 

I'm glad that you like the name. I've always thought that Paddy is a fun name.
