We took a trip to Rufford Abbey, a country estate in Nottinghamshire, UK. It used to be a monastery but in the 16th century was changed into a country house and now managed by the English Heritage.
There's a few places in the park to get something to eat and drink. There's even a stonebaked pizza van.
As it was fast approaching Halloween time, there was a ghost hunt throughout the park for the kids. Follow the map into the woods and find the ghosts and ghouls!
Halloween is one of my favourite times of the year so it was good fun for adults too!
We had a leisurely walk from the abbey to the lake to feed the birds.
We came across an 'ice house'. On the information board it states that frozen water was taken from the lake to be then taken into the abbey to chill the residents food and drink.
Near the Abbey is Rufford Ford.
It is quite common for car drivers to misjudge the depth of the water after heavy rain and get stuck. It's become a bit of a hotspot for YouTubers to film there. 😁
Overall, it is a lovely place to visit whatever the time of year.

Nice quite countryside kind of feeling but I guess the Halloween crowd will make the place deadly alive.
I like what you did there. 😁☠️
What a lovely place to visit! It’s great that they have Halloween decor up. That makes it extra fun.
Thank you @jayna. I do like a ghost!
Hello @ellenripley
That's some spooky fun stuff indeed. I particularly like the water shot with the glistening lights.
I've never been big into Halloween, but I can't deny that it's all good fun and a time of year that allows us to be creative:)
Thank you @millycf1976. I like to be scared. 😁☠️ Hope you are both keeping well. ❤️
😂
Yes, we are both doing well:)
The place as you said must be worth visiting.
I guess you enjoyed your stay there.
Yes, it's not too far from where I live.
