Polesden Lacey, Surrey, UK
Polesdon Lacey is a manor house with opulent Edwardian interiors with a large park.
Located just over 30km from the centre of London, yet one would think one was in the middle of the countryside somewhere.
This was the home of society queen Mrs Greville around 100 years ago. It was even the place chosen by King George VI and the Queen Mother for their honeymoon.
The property is today administered by the National Trust

Eyup eyup, this week we're at an amazing almost untouched abandoned mansion in the rolling hills of England. Usually these places get pretty trashed pretty quick but this one was in amazing condition.

Exploring the dilapidated ruins of civilisation, abandoned buildings, creepy theme parks, military bases, and underground vaults containing the remnants of a by gone era. And with a bit of comedy and humour chucked in there too, can't be too serious about these things.
We're not serious urban explorers, we just love the adventure.
Urban Exploration is not for kiddies. Abandoned places are dangerous. Adventures are fun.

Walks in England: The Crowhurst Yew in Sussex
I am out with the lovely Julia in search of another tree. This time it is the other Crowhurst Yew, the one in East Sussex. Incredibly, this yew is in the church yard of a church with the same name and in a village with the same name as the one in Surrey.
I hope you enjoy our investigation.

BOX HILL CIRCULAR WALKS NEAR LONDON KENT HIKING NEAR DORKING
There are many fine viewpoints on this circular walk and in several places you can see your earlier route from a new perspective. This part of the North Downs is deservedly popular and the famous sites are likely to be busy on fine weekends, but there are some quieter places in between.
Norbury Park Nature Reserve is described by Surrey Wildlife Trust as a ‘working landscape’ which includes a sawmill and three farms. The prominent house at its centre (in private ownership) was built in 1774 and has had several famous owners and tenants, including Leopold Salomons, who donated Box Hill to the National Trust in 1914, and Dr Marie Stopes, the family planning pioneer.
Box Hill and Headley Heath are both owned by the National Trust, which has introduced special breeds of sheep and cattle to restore more of the downland to its original ‘unimproved’ condition; unfertilized land is richer in wild flowers. This diversity also supports many butterflies: 40 of the 58 British species have been found on Box Hill.

Deepdene Trip part one
Deepdene was an estate & country house, a hillside manor that descended from earlier Earls of Surrey throughout the middle ages to the 23rd Earl of Arundel & Surrey who became the 5th Duke of Norfolk in 1652, it was sold by his descendant the 11th Duke of Norfolk in 1808 to the Hope banking family.
Situated on the south eastern edge of the town, the Deepdene was the greatest of Dorkings Estates. Charles Howard Established his house at Dibden and laid out it's ornamental gardens in the mid 17th century. His family had owned most of the Manor of Dorking for centuries. His grandson, also Charles, built a paliadian mansion on the site in the 1760s and continued to spend his summers at the Deepdene even after becoming 10th Duke of Norfolk in 1777.
The 11th Duke chose to reside at other of his estates, however.
In 1808 Thomas Hope, one of the richest men in England, bought the Deepdene, he enlarged the house with orangeries, conservatories, a library and galleries, filling it with antiques sculptures and works of art. The Estate was further extended by the aquisition of the Chart park and Betchworth Castle Estates, which were incorporated into the Deepdene. During the ownership of Hope's son, M.P. Henry, the grounds stretched 12 miles from boxhill to brockham, further extension saw the mansion become the splendid renaissance-style palazzo where Disraeli wrote Coningsby. Towards the end of the century the Deepdene passed to the Duke of Newcastle who had married into the Hope family. He let it to Lily, Dowager Duchess of Marlborough and her nephew, Winston Churchill, often visited her there. In the 1920s the Estate was broken up as Maurice Chance developed some of the grounds for housing. the house became a grand hotel with 90 rooms, it closed in 1936. A bypass of the town (one of the 1st in the country), ruined the gardens. Occupied by the Southern Railway throughout the second world war, it never reverted to residential use.The Deepdene was sadly Demolished in 1967, now a modern office block occupies the site and all that remains of the Hope Treasure House is the family Mausoleum which was mysteriously buried to roof level,
