Local attractions

For our first of two days in King’s Lynn, we decided to visit a couple of local attractions. I say local, they were about a half-hour’s drive away each.

Our first destination was Ayscoughfee Hall Museum and Gardens. The medieval hall dates back to the mid-15th century, and has been really well-kept by the local council. You can even see parts of the original walls and roof beams through glass panels:

Surrounding the hall is a public green space. It felt really open, but they’ve packed a lot in, from manicured hedge gardens to sports places to green spaces surrounded by enormous trees:

Our second planned visit was to Wisbech, a small town adorned with Georgian architecture. Its small river has been part of a couple of movies, with its chain of buildings on each side:

Tomorrow hopefully we’ll have a chance to explore King’s Lynn proper. See you then!
