At Heath House, you can climb up to the top of the central turret - and this is the view looking back. It's not often you get to see down on to roofs of the house one is actually in - it gives quite an unexpected dizzy feeling!
I gained this photo (on a tour of the Heath House stately home at Tean); the narrow little turret we were in sticks up like a pin out of the top of the building. The view looking forward shows the whole valley.
The family which owns the mansion, a Victorian-Gothic pile which sits in its own grounds, wasn't sure what to do with it... but it's now available for weddings, bar-mitzvahs, ghost-tours etc.
I quite like the old place's quirkiness.

The roof really has a Victorian era style. It would look more gothic if it was painted in black, right? Suddenly, I realized that it has a vintage look too! Hmm, anyway, have you talked to the family who owns that house? They must be maintaining it very well.
ReplyDeleteYes Gallienna, it would be interesting to see how far they are prepared to go with the Gothic look!
ReplyDeleteThe family have open-days and they chat to visitors then; and say they are detremined to keep the house going - even though it may not be easy...
