2. Lanhydrock 兰海德罗克城堡
When you first see this magnificent house, you may be reminded of ‘Upstairs, Downstairs’, which is all about life in Victorian England. Rebuilt after a fire in 1881 it is complete with roasting ovens and warming cupboards. It even has a flushable toilet!
当你亲眼目睹这座雄伟的城堡时,你一定会想到英国经典戏剧《楼上楼下》中的情景,这部戏剧所描绘的就是英国维多利亚时期的生活情景。历史上的兰海德罗克城堡在1881年遭大火焚毁,如今现有的城堡是重建后的成果,城堡内增添了烘炉和暖柜,里面甚至还有一座冲水马桶。
Look for the drawing room which is packed with antiques and artwork. The kitchens were some of the first to have a refrigerator room, while the Long Gallery is well renowned for the ornate plaster ceiling.
一定要看看城堡里的会客室,这里陈列着各式古董和艺术品。城堡里的厨房是英国最早配备有冷冻机室的厨房之一。在城堡里的长廊上可以看到远近闻名的华丽石膏吊顶。
The porcelain collection dates back to the 18th century and you will find many pieces by Josiah Wedgwood.
城堡里的瓷器收藏最早可以追溯到18世纪,其中有许多是英国瓷器之父、乔赛亚·韦奇伍德的作品。
Allow at least a half day here, although you may spend longer if you eat your lunch outside in the magnificent gardens.

There are many attractions in the city of Bath. 500 of the city’s buildings are of historical importance, and the entire city has World heritage status. Visit the Royal Crescent to see the honey coloured Georgian houses. Spend some time exploring the Roman Baths which are 2,000 years old.
巴斯城已经作为文化遗产列入了世界遗产名录,城中有许多处旅游景点。其中有500处建筑都是重要的历史遗址。一定要参观一下皇家新月宫,这些蜜糖色的乔治王朝时代建筑会让你赞叹不已。还可以留点时间探索一下古罗马浴室,它们已经有2000多年历史了哟。
Bath also makes a very good location to visit further afield to places like the Avon Valley and the Mendip Hills.
巴斯城之所以值得拜访的另一个原因是,从这里出发,你还可以参观一下埃文谷和迪普丘陵等景点。
You should plan to spend more than a day here, depending on whether you plan on using Bath as your base and exploring other areas.
建议为此景点留足超过一天的行程时间,具体时间安排取决于你是否想要以巴斯城为据点,顺便游览一下周边的景点。
