Welbeck Estate Buildings Also visible here on the right of picture is one of the many tunnel entrances built by the Fifth Duke. On this day I had already been redirected towards the Garden Centre after erring on foot onto this private area, and was in the process of re-orientating when a youth of heaped arrogance swerved his buggy into my path and attempted an intimidation way out of proportion to the minor incursion at hand. One day I hope, these vast and zealously guarded swathes will be finally opened up for all to share and there will be no more need for these proxy gate-keepers.
