    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

    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. ❤

    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.

    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.

    I would absolutely love to work in a home like yours, sadly my age and health are against me. I used to work in a similar home in Derbyshire called Park Hall hotel at Spinkhill. Its all changed now as someone turned it into a 7 bedroom house, I wish I could afford it, it also has a 2 bedroom cottage in the grounds. I loved working there. xx
