Osterley House is not far from Kew Gardens so we made a dash to it. It is another National Trust House. The grounds are open tot he public as parkland. This House is very large with Stables and servants quarters next door.
Inside the house was dark as normal but they open the curtain in the main room and it was pleasant to walk around.
The Basement was very dark and is the way it was when in 1970 the staff just walked out.
In the gardens was the walled garden and flower beds.
They would have been beautiful in there hayday.
But the parkland is great with rare birds a ponds.
By the time we walked out, it was late so it was a 2 hour bus trip back.
