Magnificent house and grounds in the style of a 19th-century French chateau
This renaissance-style château was built by Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild to display his outstanding collection of art treasures and to entertain the fashionable world.
The 45 rooms on view combine the highest quality French furniture and decorative arts from the 18th century with superb English portraits and Dutch Old Masters.
The Victorian garden is considered one of the finest in Britain with its parterre, seasonal displays, fountains and statuary. At its heart lies the aviary, stocked with species once part of Baron Ferdinand's collection.

Put on your wellies
Don't let the rain get you down. You can still enjoy a tour of the house and then snuggle up with a hot chocolate in one of our restaurants. Or put on your wellies and splash in puddles as you walk in the gardens.
Spring in the gardens
Spring is bringing out some amazing displays of colour in our gardens. Take a stroll among the tulips, or just relax with a picnic.
