Discover the history behind the building of the Manor and the family who still preserve the house today. Afterwards, you will have the opportunity to explore the remaining floors of the house at your leisure.
Waddesdon’s gardens were the vision of Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild, who created the Manor at the end of the 19th century. What began as a bare hill in 1874, is now an exceptional example of Victorian horticulture including formal gardens, tree and walks. Explore the grounds and formal gardens at Waddesdon this spring.
