Fascinating 18th century house which reflects the remarkable history of the Londonderry family, which played a leading role in British social and political life. The 98 acre garden is one of the greatest in the British Isles, containing an unrivalled collection of rare and unusual plants, colour parterres and magnificent formal and informal vistas. The Dodo Terrace is a striking feature. The estate includes the Temple of the Winds and James Athenian Stuart's magnificent banqueting hall, dating from 1785.
