Foxlease

Foxlease is a charming Georgian manor house set in 65 acres of beautiful countryside in Lyndhurst.  It is the home of Girl Guiding and celebrates its centenary this year.  What better time to visit for a tour of the house and a home-cooked afternoon tea.  Bransgore Evening WI were shown round attractive rooms with lofty ceilings, taken up a narrow winding staircase to the attic and given a comprehensive talk in the archive room.  The tea was served in a stunning room adorned with gilded plaster work, large mirrors and a big window over looking the grounds.  We even spotted a deer wandering through.  Lovely way to spend an afternoon.
