This 19th century village is
famous for its magnificent manor house built by
Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild over a period of 15
years to display his huge collection of art
treasures. Set amid 160 acres of splendid
parkland, it is in the style of a French chateau
with curious turrets, domes and pinnacles. Now
owned by the National Trust, it is an Aladdin’s
Cave of paintings, porcelain, tapestries and
furniture standing atop a 600ft hill. The gardens
are sublime. |
