Lilliput Lane's "Burghley Park
Boathouse"
is based on The Boathouse (About
500 Yards East South East of Burghley House,
Burghley Park
, PE9 3JY
[IoE
50314BLB]
The best way to see the
boathouse is via the
Sculpture Garden which go to the lake
A salutary
lesson: I arrived on a day when the House was closed and an hour
before the gardens opened.
I though I
would try and get to the boathouse through the open parkland.
I proceeded
along a path to the east of the gardens and walked quite a way
uphill.
I was just
about to turn towards the lake when I was challenged by a man in a
pick up who asked if I had permission to be there.
I
explained what I was trying to do. He said I was in an area not open
to the public.
I pointed
out I had not passed any notices to that effect....but...on glancing
at the rifle with telescopic sight on the seat of his vehicle....
decided an argument was oti an option.
He did tell
me I could probably get to the boathouse from the gardens, which was
confirmed by people in the cafe.
