No Entry signs bar entry to the Lambton Estate Rather incongruously stuck on the outskirts of Washington is the estate (and castle!) of Lord Lambton.  Although bits have been sold off over the years, it still occupies an area of around 3 km2.  Here at the Eastern end the road leads into the estate but No Entry signs bar the way.
