Had a lovely day at Nostell Priory yesterday. Booked parking through the system (Eventbrite) last Friday although we probably wouldn't have needed to because there was plenty of space in the car park. Had a walk around the estate and had a picnic. After that went into the house which was fully open, unlike last year when you could only go around the ground floor. The staff and volunteers were very welcoming, in fact one volunteer said how nice it was to welcome visitors again. We then took a stroll around the gardens which had been kept immaculate. Rounded of the visit with coffee and cake in the courtyard cafe, a wander around the gift shop then home. This was my experience of a National Trust property who seem to have got their act together after the difficulties of last year.
