Audley End

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

Jacobean survival of a huge mansion built by Thomas Howard, 1st Earl of Suffolk, in 1605. Later rooms by Robert Adam, who was also responsible for the ornamental garden buildings. Surrounding park and gardens.
Garden: 'Capability' Brown was responsible for laying out the landscaped grounds of Audley End in the 18th century; restoration work has revived the park and its lovely gardens, which include a 19th century parterre and rose garden. An artificial lake has been formed from the River Cam, which runs through the park. Interesting array of original garden buildings including 170-ft vine house.
