    A glamorous day in the life of an English manor house, hail stones, barbed wire, string, mud, water, and apple cake. What more could you ask for? A pair of wellies and a waterproof jacket, I think...😊

    I think I would talk about interesting sites and places around Mapperton too, so people would come to the region. Include interviews with local entrepreneurs,useful curators, arts and crafts people, bakeries, hotels and restaurants. I wouldn't come out just for Mapperton alone but if you could entice me for a week, I'd come up there and enjoy the whole region.

    Virtual tours sounds great. It's too bad Mapperton is far from London, a bus shuttle from London with a full day in Mapperton including lunch might be a nice idea. Enjoyed seeing behind the scenes and meeting everyone.

      Bus shuttle,that idea came to me,be good idea. Maybe a pick in Beaminster or Bridport etc at 11am and return about 4 for us daytrippers. As a non car owner or driver actually getting to M is a bit of an adventure

      That would be great. Bus and train connections are not very well. In addition we were scared to rent a car or honestly drive by ourselves on the "wrong side" 😅. A shuttle service -maybe an old English Bedford bus coach would be so cute 😍

    I think virtual tours are a good idea, but you could think of creating virtual tours in a way that will get people coming back, sharing their experience on social media and wanting to visit in person. Even incorporate AI into the virtual experience. For example, change up the theme of the tours to go with the seasons; show what Mapperton and the land would have looked like for example 100 years ago, etc.; and let people click on and download recipes. Gamify the online experience for example having them build a fence before the horses escape or have people find hidden gems as they do the virtual tour. I'm sure you'd find people willing to be paid and volunteer to help you set your virtual experiences up.

    The forest is amazing. Could you have a forest guided walk. I did one last year with a friend of mine who was the guide. He gave us information about each species of trees, their history , how they came to be in the area and some for their healing properties. It was fascinating and thoroughly enjoyable. We saw squirrels, and the bird life was gorgeous. ❤

Spring in the States has been a complete disaster for the most part as well. Hopefully, summer will make up for the loss. Thanks for letting us tag along Luke. Love from N.Y.

    Do NOT under estimate the value of an in person tour of Mapperton!! There are sounds, there are smells and there are so many welcoming people to connect with there. It is WELL worth the effort and we travelled from Nova Scotia Canada to get there. A virtual tour would also be great and I would not hesitate to participate in that as well! Plan a trip to Mapperton after your virtual tour!!
