I enjoyed Wightwick, but, as you say, the ornate interiors and the mish-mash of styles, I found a little disappointing. I must admit that the half-timbering on the exterior walls fooled me. The bits that looked the oldest were, in fact, 19th Century additions.

I know I keep banging on about it, but Blackwell, near Windermere, is a real Arts and Crafts gem.
