So good to have my first lake swim of the year after a hot day working in the garden @AshburnhamPlace Thankful to Capability Brown for deciding a lake was needed here! @BrownCapability #wildswimming

Oh frosty days! It's a time to pull on your woolly hats, breath in the crisp winter air and take in views like these, where the trees stand out against a carpet of frost across the landscape. Probably followed by a hot cuppa in the café.

It's #NationalTreeWeek and this is Croome's oldest tree at around 700 years old.

We've carried out work to preserve and protect this English oak, including propping a major limb to ensure it stays attached and surrounding it with a hand crafted fence.

[Capability Brown @BrownCapability]

@NTCroome @RobHavard1 A perfect name!

[Croome NationalTrust @NTCroome]

A surprise calf has been born at Croome.  Named 'Capability' by Rob, our tenant farmer, after the eighteenth-century landscape designer 'Capability' Brown who created the landscape at Croome today. The calf looks black here but it is brown... 'Capability' Brown.
