Harewood, wonderland 4 miles away from home

I will start with the most recent trip, the one made yesterday. Harewood House is situated 4 miles away from Leeds and I kept on passing it each time i took a bus to Harrogate. Finally it was time to make a visit as there was a huge christmas fair this weekend there. Not much of a fan of fairs (nothing interesting there, we bought some fudge :)) the house itself is a fantastic place. Of course it started raining some 10 minutes after we arrived, so we couldn't enjoy it to the fullest. I still want to visit the House itself, imagine myself being part of old England. Right now we visited only bird garden and courtyard, so this post is all about pictures from there.
