paintings contemporary with the house. There are spectacular views from the roof
over the formal parterre, lawns and surrounding countryside, as well as
beautiful walks in neighbouring Ashdown Woods. Nearby Weathercock Hill and

defeated the Danes, also offer fine walking (there is a car park 250m from the

CHASTLETON HOUSE, Chastleton, Moreton-in-Marsh Oxfordshire GL56 0SU
Chastleton House is one of England's finest and most complete Jacobean
houses. It is filled not only with a mixture of rare and everyday objects,
furniture and textiles collected since its completion in 1612, but also with the
atmosphere of four hundred years of continuous occupation by one family. The
gardens have a typical Elizabethan and Jacobean layout with a ring of
fascinating topiary at their heart and it was here in 1865 that the rules of
modern croquet were codified. Since acquiring the property, the Trust has
concentrated on conserving it rather than restoring it to a pristine state

CLAYDON HOUSE, Middle Claydon, nr Buckingham Buckinghamshire MK18 2EY
One of England's most extraordinary houses. In continuous occupation by the
Verney family for over 350 years, Claydon was originally a Jacobean manor house,
but was remodelled in the 1750s at a time when the craze for chinoiserie was at
its height. The result was the remarkable series of rooms we see today, lavishly
decorated in intricately carved white woodwork covered with motifs based on
Oriental birds, pagodas and summer-houses

BASILDON PARK, Lower Basildon, Reading Berkshire RG8 9NR
This beautiful Palladian mansion was built in 1776--83 by John Carr for
Francis Sykes, who had made his fortune in India. The interior is notable for
its original delicate plasterwork and elegant staircase, as well as for the
unusual Octagon Room. The house fell on hard times in the early part of this
century, but was rescued by Lord & Lady Iliffe, who restored it and filled
it with fine pictures and furniture. The early 19th-century pleasure grounds are
currently being restored, and there are waymarked trails through the parkland.
At the top of Streatley Hill nearby is a car park giving access to The Holies
and Lardon Chase, an outstanding area of downland and woodland with many
beautiful walks and breathtaking views
