 [G&G] Glanusk Estate in South Wales has been in Harry Legge-Bourke’s family for three years shy of two centuries, and if Harry has anything to do with it, it is not changing hands anytime soon. He will be the first to admit that there may not be as much cash lying around to run the place in the manner to which it is accustomed as there was when his mother’s great-great-grandfather owned and operated one of the largest iron businesses in the world. But like more than a few of Great Britain’s landed gentry, Harry has, for the past fifteen years, helped the estate pay for itself by "doing hospitality." And for travelers, this is a very good thing indeed, since no one I have ever met does it better than Legge-Bourke, and nowhere I have ever visited is a more pleasant place for the doing of it than Glanusk. |
