The collection features masters from Fra Filippo Lippi to Van Dyck and fine furniture by Robert Adam and Chippendale. There are 25 acres of gardens with an interesting 18th century Bath House, as well as a formal Lily Pond and Rose gardens.

Castle Combe

Often named as the ‘prettiest village in England’, Castle Combe is a quintessentially English village with a rich history.
