Waddesdon Manor

Waddesdon Manor is a grand country mansion in Buckingham, England, that is owned by the National Trust and run by the Rothschild Foundation. Waddesdon Manor is a Grade I listed home that was constructed in the late 19th century for Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild in the Neo-Renaissance style of a French castle and has been passed down through generations of Rothschilds.

Waddesdon Manor and Gardens, one of the National Trust's most popular destinations, are open from Wednesday through Sunday. As each season lays a different carpet of flowers, from daffodils to tulips, throughout the gardens, you will uncover statues and hidden fountains. You can get a nice view of the home by following the Winter Garden walk all the way to the Aviary and Rose Garden.

It is evident from inside the manor that the Rothschilds were the greatest collectors of the 19th century. The dining room features two large Guardi paintings, works by Dutch masters, and several Sèvres ship vases. There is also a substantial hedge of roses running the length of the table to encourage guests to converse with those seated next to them rather than across from them. Waddesdon Manor is one of the most beautiful historical sites in Buckinghamshire.
