Wotton House
Open to visitorscheck opening times and admission before you go
Wotton House’s park was reworked by Capability Brown across the 1750s and 60s, one of his most elaborate jobs on an older formal layout: two linked lakes, a pair of Tuscan temples, an Octagon pavilion and a copper-roofed Turkish Tent scattered through sweeping lawns and woodland. The house itself stays private, but the Pleasure Grounds open on Wednesday afternoons through spring and summer, plus a handful of bank holidays, with an admission kiosk and three signposted circular walks. Access is via an unobtrusive gate near Brill; Waddesdon Manor is a few miles east if you want a grander day out.
