Hughenden, Buckinghamshire

Benjamin Disraeli, Queen Victoria’s favourite Prime Minister, lived at Hughenden from 1848 to 1881. His political career is evident in his study, which features a red dispatch box, and his writing life in the extensive library. Disraeli also loved the outdoors and tripled the size of the parkland on the estate during his time at Hughenden.

Chastleton House, Oxfordshire

Time has gently worn away at the edges of Chastleton's Topiary Garden, leaving softened outlines and curving shapes. The ring of yew once held a menagerie of elaborately cut topiary animals, a ship in full sail and a teapot. The topiary at Chastleton now blends beautifully into the informal garden.
