Living history
The street view of Cranlana offers tantalising glimpses of the splendour within. Framed by sandstone pillars and wrought-iron gates, the park-like grounds stretch out as far as the eye can see, divided by a gravel driveway that sweeps up to the portico of an Edwardian home. Manicured lawns are outlined by rows of hedging and punctuated by colossal trees reaching into the sky. It’s an extraordinary sight.
