Welcome to the Oxenford Gatehouse, near Elstead in Surrey:
It might look a bit forbidding at first, with these massive gates:
And the key to the front door is far too heavy for me to lift:
But, once inside, there’s a lovely spot to sit and watch the cows:
And the stone walls don’t bar a view of the surrounding countryside:
In fact, if you can reach the top, the view is quite expansive and very beautiful:
There are mushrooms along the path:
And a very restful moat – the perfect spot to enjoy the sunshine and watch the world go by:
This small, but majestic building has a lot to recommend it:
My human and I enjoyed the peace and quiet, away from the bustle of London.
