Their stories are told throughout the house by their portraits, the objects they collected from around the world and the design influence they had on the house and parkland. See how Mary Elizabeth Lucy remodelled the house in Victorian times. The gardens include a formal parterre, woodland walk and the wider parkland (inspired by 'Capability' Brown), which offer walks with picturesque views across the River Avon. A herd of fallow deer has been in the park since Tudor times. « less

I was very impressed by my visit to this, the ancestral home of the Lucy family. The house is presented as it would have looked in Victorian times with many very fine antiques and paintings. There were volunteer room guides on hand to explain invidual rooms and their trappings which was very helpful. The house and parterre have a lovely... More

Interesting architectural features, paintings and furnishings collected from around Europe and Asia by the Lucy family, helpful National Trust guides and a real sense of history combine to make this a fruitful visit. On a wet day, the parklands, herds of fallow deer and River Avon views play a lesser role in one's explorations. But the busy restaurant will help... More
