Badminton House Pics!!!

[starsandsea]

Ages and ages ago I said to jen_in_japan that I would post a pic of Badminton House. Well, I didn't, because a) they were far too dark and b) The pictures had me in them, and thus you couldn't see the actual house very well.

But, yesterday, I went to Badminton Horse Trials Cross Country Day and I was finally able to take some good pictures!






This is either the front or the back of the House, I'm not sure. I'm leaning towards the back, because there is no driveway (that I know of) that leads to it... But I could be totally wrong! The archway on the far right leads to the stables.




A side of the House. With a Helicopter on the lawn. As you do. On the opposite side are some walled gardens, I believe.

Also, just you get a idea of how many people were there...




There's normally somewhere around 200,000+ people there on cross country day. I'm not sure how I didn't go insane...

Thoese bring back memories of my child hood. My mum took us every year. We used to wait by the water jump for people to fall in . :D

LOL! We walk the course and the water jump is always too crowded to see properly!

LOL! I think the house they used for that is on the other side of the country. Near London, if I'm remembering correctly... *goes to check* Well, okay, not alllll that close to London. But close enough! :P

I'm glad you liked the pics, Christine! :D
