Being Father's Day today, we treated Wayne to a trip to the Father's Day Sports Car and Classics Show at nearby Knebworth House. The rain stayed away and it was a lovely day with hundreds of cars to see.... and photograph!
Our entry ticket to the Car Show also included entry to the park, gardens and dinosaur trail so after looking at the cars and auto jumble stands we headed off to the gardens.
Lara and I managed to find our way to the middle of the maze where we found a statue of a monkey. Thankfully we also found our way out!
After the gardens, we took a walk along the dinosaur trail. Our children were definitely too old to be excited by this but there were plenty of small children running around thrilled to discover the 72 dinosaurs hiding round each corner.
Our ticket didn't allow us to enter the house and in any event there was no time for a visit today, but we did have a look at the outside. The exterior of the building with its Gothic turrets, towers and gargoyles is quite impressive. It appears to have had many additions over the years.
I thought many of the gargoyles and statues were quite cartoon-ish and wouldn't look out of place as characters in a Disney film.

I love the gargoyles and statues.
