Waddesdon Manor

Seen in 'Death of a Stranger'.

Prepare to be serious impressed. Banker Ferdinand de Rothschild built Waddesdon Manor in exuberant French-chateau style as the supreme showcase for his awesome collections of paintings, porcelain and other priceless treasures. Its rolling acres include a gilded aviary, rose gardens and spectacular seasonal bedding displays. The famous Rothchild wine cellars, restaurants, shop, talks, tours and a calendar of special events make it easy to while away a whole day here.



Spot Ferdinand's elegant additions to Waddesdon village, such as the Five Arrows Hotel. Built to accommodate visitors' coachmen, it's now open to guests and non-residents throughout the day.
