Christmas reflections of Baron's world tour

We invite you to join Baron Ash on his grand adventure. In 1910/11, aged 21, he travelled to 11 countries. Leaving Liverpool in August he started his journey in North America, travelled by boat and train through Asia, Africa and Europe, arriving home in April 1911.  He kept a diary in which he recorded all the cultures he encountered. Enjoy beautifully decorated rooms which reflect the memories of his travels and the countries he visited.

The house and grounds will be celebrating over the Christmas period. Full details will be available soon.
