Wandering around getting the feel of the old walls. The kitchens are the star of Cowdray and we had a cookery demo (baking on a griddle) by two enthusiastic volunteers. Pleasant walk through water meadows to the entrance which would be delightful save for the litter and dog droppings. More

The sign on the gate was misleading as it referred to the ruins and walled garden and restaurant. We paid the entry fee only to find that the gardens are under separate management and entry was not included in the £8 entry fee and they were not open, Neither was the restaurant which is nearly a mile away and not...
