It was a very enjoyable day out. At present the trust are doing a swing thing in certain areas. We we lucky enough to come across this at Montacute House. We followed around the swing trail which was ever so exciting. There were four different styles as you can see from the photo`s below.
The house was beautiful and it is so good that the national trust have now relaxed there photographis issues and bloggers like myself can portrait the true beauty of these places the trust owns.
