The aesthetic fantesy


Speaking about amazing places to visit,  Wightwick Manor is one my top favourites, heartily recommended to anyone with an interest in the late Victorian era, with its exquisite collection of pre-Raphelite paintings, Arts and Crafts tiles and wallpapers, stunning stained  glass, Aesthetic furniture and breathtaking textiles. More so, this place has an identity and a feel that goes beyond the sum of its contents, and I have never set foot in more poetic and romantic building. No pics from the inside, you can find images on line, but this is a place to experience in person if you can. It is like stepping into a fairytale, and I never wanted to leave.
