Ickworth House and Gardens

The Ickworth House and Gardens built between 1795 and 1829 is part of England's National Trust and is located near Bury St. Edmunds.  This is a living museum where parts of the home are used for reenactment to portray what life was like during the height of the home's use.  We had a gorgeous 50 degree spring day.  Daffodils were blooming all around the property.  It was also birthing season and so there were lambs all over the fields.  We witnessed one live birth and it was so cute watching the little guy try to learn to walk.
