A crisp Neo-Grecian house built in 1816 for William Wyndham to Jeffry Wyatville’s design, set in open parkland in the Nadder valley at Dinton. The National Trust owns both. The park and its downland walks are free and open all year, while the house itself opens only rarely. About 8 miles west of Salisbury.
