Say hello to the wildlife in the Lake District, home of Beatrix Potter, dramatic landscapes and a fascinating history. We’ve got our ranger Martin Clayton and Panasonic to thank for this beautiful shot. #nationaltrust A photo posted by nationaltrust (@nationaltrust) on Feb 16, 2016 at 12:46am PST

The last owner of Scotney Castle was Christopher Hussey, a well known architectural historian who died in 1970 and left the estate to the National Trust. He married his wife, Elizabeth, in 1936. Elizabeth was none other than Wallis Simpson's niece. I know that has nothing to do with anything, but she was Wallis' NIECE, y'all! Which of course means that she must have been party to some mighty interesting family conversations in her lifetime. Elizabeth, or Betty as she was known, lived in the house until her death in 2005. The house has a very lived in, homely feel – it’s not that long since Betty’s death and things like her favourite perfume and the cat’s food bowls are still sitting around in the house. Richard Gere paid for a new kitchen for Betty, when in 1979 the house was used in his film ‘Yanks.' I had an almighty girl crush on Richard Gere. His poster was above my bed, and everything. Edward Lewis from Pretty Woman is probably still my ultimate dream bloke. Or wait. He picks up prozzies so maybe not, then. In any case, I almost wish Richard had never set foot in Scotney Castle because that kitchen is ghastly. Believe it or not, but Margaret Thatcher and her husband Denis also had ties with the property. They rented a flat in the house in the 1970s and 80s, and it apparently became her favourite bolt hole. The wallpaper she and Denis put up in the bathroom is still there. I bet Denis chose the pattern and Margaret did the hanging. #castle #victorian #england #history #heritage #historylover #historichouse #pursuepretty #explore #myadventure #neverstopexploring A photo posted by Katie (@bluekatiecat) on Feb 28, 2016 at 4:33am PST
