| Burghley Manor House |
 |
| This home had two gardens. The first one we entered was the Garden of Surprises which had lots of fun, hands on activities for the children to enjoy |
 |
| What kids doesn't love the water fountains:) |
 |
| Fun mirror maze to go thru |
 |
| Interesting sculptures that do something when you push a button. This one had smoke coming out of it |
 |
| this one grow green strings which I think represented grass |
 |
| This one had water |
 |
| and this one represented wind |
 |
| Large games to play-- this is one of my kids favorites, 9 Man's Morris |
 |
| Next we wandered thru the Sculpture Garden |
 |
| and tried to guess what the sculptures were -- this one looked like a wagon wheel Sometimes the signs gave us a hint but sometimes that just confused us more. |
 |
| Princess thought this looked like a snake on a tree |
 |
| We had no idea what this was suppose to be:) |
 |
| This old tree was covered in PVC pipes representing a Maze? Sometimes modern art escapes my understanding |
 |
| Tall Vase? |
 |
| One I actually like:) |
 |
| Horse, but it was made out of steel bands and on closer examination it had feathers in it. We couldn't figure out why |
 |
| This was was labeled Fire but was painted blue. I might have understood it better if it was painted red! |
 |
| sort of looks like a windmill, maybe |
 |
| cow but made of fabric but had a ghostly appearance, my kids thought it was scary looking |
 |
| Can't have a garden without a labyrinth which is very popular in England. My kids love walking on them |
 |
| This was a plastic bag recycling sculpture. Princess thought it look like a snake that had just eaten a meal. From a distance it looked interesting, up close it looked like plastic bags...really I don't get modern art! |
