Hutton in the Forest

Just got back from visiting Lord n Lady Inglewood in their country pile just south of Carlisle.











The name comes from Ingle Wood that used to stretch from Penrith to north of Carlisle and was reputed to be one of the richest hunting forests in England - attracting Henry Tudor himself. The extensive grounds were once set to very rigid formal gardens but are now mainly open pasture with a small formal walled garden. The grounds were also used during WWII to hide active planes from the Luftwaffe.
