Woodchester Mansion

Absolutely lovely view on the way to Woodchester Mansion

There were a few cows along the way
First time I saw a cow up close and personal
There were a few of them threaten to plow us down
Massive cows are scary
Love the detailing of the wooden door, leading us into past
Where Woodchester Mansion was built
Would be nice to live here with a spectacular view like that
Woodchester Mansion is a 19th Century Victorian Gothic Masterpiece mysteriously abandoned mid-construction in 1873. Hidden in a secluded Cotswold valley, it is untouched by time and the modern world.
This Grade 1 Listed Building has been saved from dereliction, but will never be completed.
It was more gothic inspired with the intricately designed window arches
Still under restoration, however it was never finished because the architect died
Due to the lack of resources and funds it wasn't finished
And was forever left to be undone
