Description: |
A National Trust guidebook about Gibside, Tyne & Wear |
Synopsis: |
Nowadays many of Gibside's buildings lie in ruins. But this was once a grand Georgian estate, home to one of the most powerful families in England, the Bowes. This guidebook reveals how they built their fortune - and Gibside - and the scandalous tale of how one, the `Unhappy Countess' Mary Eleanor, was held captive here by her deceitful husband, Stoney Bowes.These pages also offer an insight into Gibside today: the wildlife that now calls it home; a handy `Spotter's Guide' to some of the estate's lesser-spotted features that can be ticked off during your visit; and the initiatives the National Trust is taking to create a peaceful retreat for visitors and nature. |
