Glorious gardens and woodlands overlooking the River Thames

A sea of bright yellow daffodils will greet you at most of our places in March. Multicoloured displays of spring bulbs on the ground are complemented by flowering magnolia trees and cherry blossom above. It's a wonderful time to get out and revisit your favourite gardens at Cliveden, Hughenden, Greys Court and Basildon Park.

Most of our houses are open throughout the winter, but some need to close for conservation work. It's always an exciting time when they throw open their doors again for spring. Why not pay them a visit to welcome them back! Chastleton opens on 4 March, Nuffield Place opens on 6 March, Ascott opens on 17 March, Claydon Opens on 20 March, Waddesdon Manor opens on 25 March and West Wycombe Park's grounds open for walks on 1 April.

The Easter holidays will be upon us before we know it, but don’t worry, we’ve got Easter family adventures across Bucks, Berks and Oxfordshire, and each one is different. Grab a pair of bunny ears and set out on an activity-packed Easter trail at Cliveden, Stowe Gardens, Hughenden, Basildon Park, Greys Court, Waddesdon, Claydon and Ascott.
