Mmm Apples to start 👌🏻 Barrington Court Gardens are amazing Paul. It definately speaks for itself. Those apples definately do look scrumptious. Very pretty gardens & rainbow. Some great info on the house itself Paul. That sun dial looks amazing. Bet those photos were amazing from Victorian cameras. Thank you for the tour Paul, great video. Thank you fir sharing x💕👌🏻

Thank you Kim! Glad you enjoyed it. Yes, I really enjoyed my visit here. I actually filmed two videos that day - I went on to the town of Somerton before heading home - video on that coming soon! Take care, Paul.

Hello Paul - greetings from Poland I'm lucky enough to be "first up" this morning. A wonderful video old friend. Beautifully photographed with your customary superb commentary, full of very interesting information and facts about what we are looking at. A magnificent building and garden, looking at it's best at any time of the year. Fabulous colours, apples galour and vegetables for the table. Thanks so much for taking me along. See you again soon. Stay safe please

Good morning Michael! Well done on being one of the very first to view this and the first to comment 😊. Glad you enjoyed it. There had been a fair bit of rain before filming but thankfully it had just stopped - I think this helped it give everything a fresh look with deep colours. Yes, sad that the Court itself isn't open, but hopefully I can return on another occasion to get the 'inside view' on that. Hope you have a great weekend Michael, take care, Paul 🙂👍

1.06k Hi Paul theres actually 10 faces on that dodecahedron sun dial .... yet again interesting content to wake up to .

[@westcountrywanderings]

Thank you Mei! Glad you enjoyed it. Your comment provokes much interest! According to the National Trust guide book that I bought, it is indeed a dodecahedron sundial. Dodecahedron means 12 sided, and is based on a sundial in Italy attributed to the mathematician Lorenzo Federici. But, when I went back and checked the video clip there are only 10 markers, making it a decagon sundial, and not a dodecahedron sundial as the National Trust names it as! I think that there is more to this story! Glad you enjoyed it, take care, Paul.

Thanks Paul. Peaceful video. Lovely autumn day. Great to see the buildings and gardens. Those red apples and espalier pears looked yummy. Nice mix of quiet filming and interesting commentary :)

[@westcountrywanderings]

Thank you Cathy! Glad you enjoyed it. Yes, it would be good to go back again and see inside the house. As you say lovely gardens and buildings too, as well as an interesting back story. Take care, Paul.

What a wonderful autumn garden, you can tell the walled garden must be fantastic in the summer. The house is huge & will certainly be costing the National Trust a fair bit to restore, great video, thankyou..

[@westcountrywanderings]

Thank you Faith! Although maybe not as spectacular as a late springtime visit, I feel that the autumn colours more than made up for it. Yes, certainly a big job to do on the Court building for sure! Thanks again, take care, Paul.

Hi Paul 😊 Lovely tour, the gardens looked beautiful and some peaceful to walk around. So many apples!

[@westcountrywanderings]

Hello! Glad you enjoyed it. Yes, I nearly had the place to myself, which was great for filming. Cheers, Paul.

So nice to see the familiar scenery of Barrington Court. I enjoyed a lovely visit with family there a few years ago. Lovely video Paul with lots of interesting information. I loved the sun dial!

[@westcountrywanderings]

Thank you Louise. Glad you enjoyed the tour there. It is a lovely place. Hope to go back when the Court reopens. Glad it brought back memories of a family visit for you too. Cheers, Paul 👍🙂
