#travel 🇬🇧 Treasure Park in London, as oil painting scenery enters reality 🖼️ The weather has finally warmed up recently, and park bloggers are back online! 📍 Painchill Park may have the name 'painful', but it is actually a very healing place! There are lawns, forests, lake views, small bridges, pavilions, and even man-made caves (the staff said that the crystals inside were all artificially pasted one by one, taking a whole decade!). The park was built in the 18th century and is a private garden created by Charles Hamilton, a leisurely nobleman inspired by his travels in Europe, for himself to play in. His goal is to create a living painting "living oil painting" that blends different styles such as Gothic pavilions, Chinese bridges, ancient Roman temples, and of course, artificial caves and lakes. The presented effect is more varied and interesting than traditional English parks, and more refined and planned than pure wild lawns. Overall, I think it's still worth the ticket price~Tips: one ️⃣ Remember to book tickets online in advance, it's 2 pounds cheaper than offline! (Online) 💷 11.5, Offline 💷 13.5） 2 ️⃣ Gothic Temple is very popular, don't miss it! three ️⃣ To travel from London, you need to take a train to Walton on Thames and then take a taxi, or get off at Esher and take bus route 715 (there are few weekend trips, every 1.5 hours). It is best to plan the route and reserve time in advance #travel #trip #london #historicallandmarks #familytrip #localguides

There is an amazing Grotto to visit within easy reach from London, and it is located in Painshill Park. Created in the 18th century by Charles Hamilton as a living painting, Painshill invites you to walk around a work of art and discover dramatic follies, calming waters and stunning views. Painshill is regarded as one of the foremost and finest examples of the English Landscape Movement. A style of landscape design that has been described, by architectural historian Nikolaus Pevsner, as “Britain’s’ greatest contribution to the visual arts”. A highlight of any day out at Painshill, the Crystal Grotto is a place where you will not want to put your camera down. Children are captivated and adults stand in awe of the incredible man-made feature. The spectacular Grotto is a magical, naturalistic cave with shimmering, bubbling water, rough rock and stalactites covered in sparkling crystals. On a sunny day, shafts of light pierce the interior through carefully placed openings in the ceiling. The light makes the crystals sparkle as it bounces off the coral pools and lake water. #tripblazers
