Day 24 - November 28th
My local stately home, Knebworth house. August 1986, Queen played to 200,000 people here, Batman (and many others - see below) was filmed here as was the latest series of the Queen on Netflix.
As we are in Lockdown, the Park was open for exercise, and the pre-booked army of SUV’s with many many small children had arrived early to walk the dinosaur trail. I guess this is my local Jurassic park as well.
I ignored the crowds and headed of in a circular walk to the north and East of the park, taking in avenues of tree, lakes, the deer heard and of course the House itself.
View of the House from the North side from the road leading down to the lakes
I made this Black and White as there was not detail in the Sky, the two trees are almost like stick men!
Further down the road
The first of the two lakes that are in the grounds
This one tree still had its Autumn colour
These lakes had cascading waterfalls between them
Back up the hill to the main drive leading to the house, note the Stage watching my approach
The trees lining the road to the Church
And finally the location for The Kings Speech, The Scapegoat, St Trinian’s 2, 28 Weeks Later, Nanny McPhee, Cody Banks 2, Possession, Wilde, Batman the Movie, The Shooting Party, Victoria & Abdul, Paddington 2 & Eurovision Song Contest: Fire Saga.
