First an apology for not visiting your blogs last week. After I uploaded my post the Internet connection closed down and I had no Internet for several days. I hope it will be fine for this week.
This week for the letter K we visit Kingston Lacey in Dorset. It is owned by the National Trust.
Kingston Lacy is a country house and estate near Wimborne Minster, Dorset, England, now owned by the National Trust. From the 17th to the late 20th centuries it was the family seat of the Bankes family, who had previously resided nearby at Corfe Castle until its destruction in the English Civil War after its incumbent owners, Sir John Bankes and Dame Mary joined the side of Charles I. They owned some 8,000 acres (3,200 ha) of the surrounding Dorset countryside and coastline

I know I'd love living there for those beautiful grounds, but all that upkeep!

It looks familiar, perhaps it has been used in a TV show/movie?
