“Days of silk and roses, of chandeliers and cigars can still be sensed within the faded walls of Brodsworth Hall. Brodsworth and its gardens are set off to perfection by the vast hall with its angular white stonework. A collection of Italian, white marble sculptures marches up the grand driveway into the house. As one of the finest Victorian mansions in England, Brodsworth fulfilled the role of grand residence for its owner Charles Thellusson. However, spiralling costs after World War I meant that parts of the House were closed down. It has been conserved by English Heritage maintaining the slightly worn feel they found when they took control. Over 150 years of family life are now documented there with over 30 rooms open to public view. At Brodsworth, one experiences a journey through time, beginning with the early years of great wealth and social standing and travelling to the austerities of life during World War II. These range from the grandeur of huge reception rooms to the traditional kitchen and servants’ wing which comes alive in a ‘Work & Play’ exhibition. This dramatises the lives of the family, servants, and tenants of Brodsworth Hall. The beautiful Victorian period gardens are used for special events throughout the summer. There is a classical summerhouse, and a glorious Rose Dell with over 100 varieties of 19th century roses. ”

“Brilliant information, have used several of the pubs and visited many of the properties. Some that
I didn’t
know were so close to home. Keep up the good work.”
Steve, UK
“Thanks very much for your help. Gone out and got a 1Gb card and all is now loaded. One way of rating a company is the back up support and you score 10/10 .”
Graham, London
“The content is good and the level of detail about right, enough to pique your interest but not so much
that you feel you're attending a lecture.”
Sam, Manchester
“I've used the programme a few times now on my travels and it does add a good deal of value
to a journey so I'm very happy with my purchase.”
John, UK
“The Audio commentary on the Garmin was well narrated and definitely had the feel of the audio
guides you get when you are walking around the landmarks themselves”.
Linda, New Jersey

it's suggested has been a winner.”
Nikki, Cambridgeshire'
“The heritage commentary is really informative and entertaining – it’s great to discover
the background to the brown tourist signs we normally whizz by on the motorway.”
