On the last day of our visit to Stratford-upon-Avon, we visited Charlecote Park but were not favoured by the weather. The house has a spectacular faรงade set in an informal landscaped parkland designed by 'Capability' Brown. Herds of wild fallow deer wander the grounds. It was a lovely end to our break.

A rambling Victorian house of red brick and light grey stone is framed by an intricate grey stone wall in front and fir tree branches above. The house has about 25 chimneys, two towers with grey metal cupolas and weather vanes. Topiary fills the lawn in front of the building.A herd of fallow deer snooze in the grass. Their coats vary from very light beige to light brown, with some having much darker fur. They are all sporting antlers. In the background, a church roof and spire are visible above the trees.A fallow deer dozes in the grass, surrounded by the rest of the herd. Its light beige fur is spotted with white, while the fur on its neck and head is darker. It has a fine set of antlers. Although its eyes are closed, its head is up, and its ears alert.A side view of the Victorian house with very dark clouds behind it. An ornate caste iron arch is at the bottom of the picture, with complicated brick and stone pillars on each side. The house is built of stone and red brick. Cupolas and weather vanes cap two towers. There are two sets of tall grey stone chimneys visible.

#SilentSunday
Centuries-old silence & tranquillity by the river Avon at Charlecote, upstream from Stratford. Tomorrow we visit the old mill at Charlecote & our friendly miller, to buy freshly ground flour for my bread-making.

A wide river flows through reeds and tall grass. There are trees ahead, and grey skies above with a chink of blue.
