| Waddesdon is a French Renaissance-style chateau built for Ferdinand de Rothschild in the 19th century to display his vast collection of works of art, including French Royal furniture, Sèvres porcelain, works by Gainsborough and Reynolds. It has one of the finest Victorian gardens in Britain, famous for the parterre, seasonal displays, shady walks and views, fountains and statuary. At its heart lies the aviary stocked with exotic species that were once part of Baron Ferdinand's collection. Conveniently situated for London, Oxford and Milton Keynes. | | | | All visitors (incl.
