Once a modest Georgian home, it was transformed into a grand Victorian estate by Benjamin Disraeli, Queen Victoria’s favourite. Explore the West Wing of the Manor to discover more about Hughenden's role as a top-secret map-making operation during the Second World War.
Visit the National Trust shop, offering locally sourced goods and unique gifts, and relax in the cosy Stableyard Café, serving light refreshments, hot meals, and beverages.
