Snowshill Manor is situated near Broadway In the Cotswolds.
Its another National Trust property and this was my second visit there in three years.
Snowhill Manor contains Charles Paget Wade's extraordinary collection of craftsmanship and design, including musical Instruments, clocks, toys, bicycles, weavers ans spinners tools ans japanese armour. Run on organic principles, the Intimate garden is laid out as a series of outdoor rooms, with terraces and ponds and wonderful views across the Cotswold countryside.
It is a very Impressive place to visit and the rooms of the Manor are full of Charles Wades collections. He lived next to the Manor in smaller outbuildings and his main room is pictured above. He slept in a Box Bed with a curtain across it. Despite having the Manor next door!
He was a well liked man according to a National Trust guide in the Manor, who knew him many years ago. Like most National Trust places, this one also has a Tea room/resturant and gift shop. There is a few minutes walk between the Tea rooms and the Manor, so it's best that visitors are aware of this. But another place well worth seeing.
