BEAUTIFUL FORMAL GARDENS TO EXPLORE
Set in an exquisite patch of English countryside, the stately Cliveden House boasts an illustrious history. Originally owned by the Duke of Buckingham – and host, over the years, to a procession of royals, politicians and socialites – today the property and its magnificent grounds are open to all.
Set amidst 376 acres of National Trust parkland in the rural splendour of Berkshire, with a glorious view of the River Thames, the location of this plush country estate is simply unbeatable.
Whilst enjoying all the tranquillity of the countryside, Cliveden is less than an hour’s drive away from London, making it the perfect destination for a luxurious weekend getaway.
As a guest, you’ll have miles of woodland paths and beautiful formal gardens to explore – including the magnificent six-acre parterre fronting the estate. You can get lost in the giant yew tree maze, play tennis on the outdoor courts, indulge in a spa treatment or take a dip in one of the pools. Don’t miss out on traditional afternoon tea in the lavishly decorated Great Hall, and award-winning cuisine at the André Garrett restaurant.
