Claydon Architecture and Design Tour
Come marvel at Claydon’s unique architecture and learn more about its unprecedented design.
- Booking essential
- Free event (admission applies)
On the outside Claydon House may seem unassuming, a classical country house. But, once you step inside, it is a different story altogether. The riotous interior decoration shows an unparalleled remnant of a once grander design. Claydon’s magnificence is encapsulated in soaring double height rooms, crowded with intricate carvings of fanciful creatures and unusual designs. Architect Luke Lightfoot’s vision bombards the senses with a mixture of over the top classical and fantasy Rococo, to Gothic and fictional Chinoiserie.
The tour will last approximately 1.5 hours. The tour is free but normal admission prices apply. Free for National Trust members.
