Cliveden House

The next position on the list of the most beautiful historical sites in Buckinghamshire is the Cliveden House. The Duke of Buckingham erected a hunting lodge on the site of Cliveden House in 1666, which was the first building there. Before being completely destroyed by fire in 1795, this iteration lasted for more than 100 years. The second structure, which had been rebuilt in 1824, sadly suffered the same fate and was demolished in 1849.

Two years later, a brand-new home was ordered, and this is largely the Cliveden that exists today. The Duke of Westminster and subsequently American billionaire Lord Astor made additional important changes and modifications to Cliveden in the latter decades of the 18th century.

Today, Cliveden serves as a five-star hotel as well as a park and gardens run by the National Trust. Pre-arranged tours can be taken within the house, which is filled with amazing artwork, including tapestries from Brussels from the 18th century and portraits of its former residents.

The enormous area also has a number of lovely gardens, scenery, and even a large maze that, depending on the season, offers a range of wonders. Cliveden House, with its eye-catching Italianate facade, is still a favorite with both tourists and residents. It's also very family-friendly with lots of kid-friendly activities.
