A NEW YEAR ESCAPE + ELVASTON CASTLE | EP. 14

Happy New Years! We've taken a couple of weeks off over the Christmas and New Year school break, during which we escaped to Hampshire to a gorgeous log cabin called The Granary and have enjoyed a couple of days around home, allowing ourselves to relish some days of quiet. We take you on our daily walk around Elvaston Castle and have a flash back to wanderings during the summer months last year.

Hi Stacy we are two pensioners who emigrated to Perth Western Australia, from Matlock 50 years ago and love to watch your travelvlogs, as it brings back memories, love your professionalism and look forward to your future adventures, regards Dave & Jean.

[@theslowtravelsfamily]

Hi Dave and Jean! I’m so glad to hear you’ve been enjoying my videos and that they bring back memories from ‘home’. I’ll have to go and do a tour of Matlock for you and show you around now ☺️ They’ve expanded the bridge so that it’s two way traffic now amongst lots of other changes but I’ll have to do a video so you can take a trip down memory lane xx

I also live near to the castle, played there as a child, I plan to go there this summer and take photos as I am in the middle of writing the history on this place.

[@theslowtravelsfamily]

I have lots of happy memories of playing there as a child too 🥰 I love hearing that you’re writing a history on it! Would definitely be interested in reading that.

Hello I love a wander around Elvaston castle it’s my “go to” place when I need some nature & fresh air xx

[@theslowtravelsfamily]

Mine too 🥰 it’s a great place to have on our doorstep!

[@darlene9154]

Wow beautiful castle and gardens. Kind of sad the families couldn’t afford to keep them up.

[@theslowtravelsfamily]

It’s a really lovely estate, we’re always there for a walk ❤️ yes it’s a shame they couldn’t afford to keep it in the family, although there’s a lot of places like that. Running these houses costs an absolute fortune and they really need to be run as businesses to survive these days

I love Elvaston castle so much I used to work there in the riding stables nearly 40 years ago and know every inch of the place I’ve moved away now but visit a couple of times a year it hold a very special place in my heart ❤️ thank you for this video (new subscriber)

[@PixiePeachPomme]

Can’t wait to have that lovely hot weather back! 🎉

[@theslowtravelsfamily]

I want some sunshine but I don’t want that heat back again 😅

[@CONYDIARIES]

Happy new year 2023

[@theslowtravelsfamily]

Happy new year to you and your loved ones ☺️🙏

[@IRSA1]

My very best wishes to you and your lovely family fo this new year. On yet another cold and damp winter Monday, it is lovely to be reminded of the heat of the summer, even though it got so extreme at the time ! The grounds of Elvaston castle are so lovely for a gentle wander, but it is just such a crying shame that no one has had either the capacity or the will to deal with its restoration and upkeep properly.

[@theslowtravelsfamily]

Wishing you and your loved ones a wonderful year ahead too! Oh yes, it’s been absolutely miserable weather here for the most part hasn’t it?! One of the reasons we haven’t been out that much to film recently so I thought a flashback would be better this week. I feel as though my brain has blocked out just how unbearable the heat was last summer 😅 There was no escape from it! We always love wandering around Elvaston castle, I’m there most days just to get out and about for a walk ☺️ I agree, it’s been a shame that the council let it fall into the state it’s currently in. The only blessing is the grant they’ve now got so there is finally a plan of action and work being done, about time!
