The landscape opened up the further into the park we went.

We were greeted by open parkland with grazing herds of sheep and deer. The latter might have been kept exclusively for sport in the old days, but now they are also farmed, like the sheep. The produce is sold at the estate’s impressive farmyard shop.

We didn’t have too much time to get used to the sun before it disappeared again.

Luckily, the sheep were there to show us the way to the house so we really couldn’t get lost.
