🇬🇧Just 1 Hour from London… Explore the Rothschild Family’s Dreamy Château Garden

#londontrips 📍Waddesdon Manor, Buckinghamshire Built in the late 19th century by the Rothschild family, Waddesdon Manor was designed in the style of a French château—think mini Louvre meets Downton Abbey. It’s ranked among the most beautiful gardens in England! 🚂 How to Get There • Take a train from London Marylebone Station to Aylesbury Vale Parkway (~1 hour) • From there, a 10-minute taxi ride gets you straight to the manor • Driving? Super easy—on-site parking is spacious and convenient! 📍Must-See Highlights 1️⃣ The Manor House A jaw-dropping Baroque-style mansion with lavish interiors—feels like stepping into Versailles! Tip: Book tickets online in advance to skip queues! 2️⃣ The Gardens French formality meets English charm! Spring is the season for the iconic Tulip Festival—thousands of blooms, perfect for dreamy photos. Fountains and statues everywhere! 3️⃣ The Wine Cellars Taste wines from the Rothschild estate—yes, wine tastings are free! A must-do for wine lovers. 4️⃣ The Aviary A charming space with rare bird species—great for families with kids! 5️⃣ The Rothschild Art Collection Paintings, porcelain, fine furniture—the manor is basically an art museum in disguise! 💡 Insider Tips • Open seasonally: April to October is prime time, especially for the gardens • Wear light-colored dresses for the best photos (and pack a jacket—British weather is full of surprises!) • There’s a lovely café, but if you want to save, bring a picnic and enjoy it on the lawn! • Check the website for special events—they often host concerts, exhibitions, and seasonal fairs!
