Stunningly beautiful.

I recently read about this incredible project...and discovered the book chronicling the restoration process on Amazon.com...so of course I have to purchase it. Last July, I spent almost two weeks in England...what an incredible experience! We were honored to have toured at least ten castles and manor houses...including Windsor Castle.

I recall watching the beginning of the renovation on Public TV a few years ago. It's nice to see the progress. CMJ

Wonderful indeed. 5,000 acres is huge; why not re-wild the place with native regional wildlife?
