| 説明 | Layer Marney Tower is a beautiful Tudor palace surrounded by formal gardens and parkland with magnificent views to the Blackwater estuary. Situated between Colchester and Maldon in Essex, the house was built around 1520 by Henry, 1st Lord Marney.The TowerEngland’s tallest Tudor gatehouse offers visitors magnificent views to the Blackwater estuary and beyond. On a clear day you can even see St Cedd’s Chapel on the Dengie peninsula. As you climb the tower you can pause and admire Manderley - the exquisite dolls house made by Pat Camp. Stop at the History Room to learn more about the building's past and see the model of how Layer Marney Tower might have looked had Lord Marney lived to complete his palace. The view from the roof shows the church, outbuildings, play area, gardens, estate and Wildlife Walk.Layer Marney Tower is a great place to visit for a family days out in Essex - whether you are planning to exhaust the children in the play area or enjoy the tranquility of the gardens. The Tearoom, situated in the Old Stables, offers a range of light lunches as well as tea and cakes. Next door is the shop, stocked with a selection of souvenirs, gifts, cards and local produce.The GardensThe romantic gardens at Layer Marney Tower look down the hill to the Tea House and beyond to the Blackwater Estuary. The garden has interest and perfume for much of the year; roses particularly love our heavy clay soil and warm south facing aspect and put on a glorious display throughout the summer. A knot garden harks back to the Tudors who built the house, although the garden doesn't seem to have been significantly developed until the Victorian era. We have some beautiful and unusual trees growing in our lawns on which visitors are welcome to picnic. |
