Welford Park

If you are a fan of a certain British cooking program, this post maybe more relevant to you.  I have never watched Bake Off but Nancy has and she knew of Welford Park, the location where it has been shot.  The grounds are not normally open to the public – only paying TV crews – but once a year they open up for the snowdrops which I previously posted about.  After walking through the woods and seeing the flowers, we came back to the main house where they had a café since a spot of lunch was in order.

Having not watched the show, I am not familiar with the layout of the grounds.  However, I am told that the steps down to the lawn from the house are a feature of some of the TV footage.  The house itself appears in shots and the lawn area, which was clear while we were there, is where they have the tents in which the contestants undertaken their challenges.  If you have seen the show, hopefully these shots will be recognizable to you.
