West Wycombe Park

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

The house is one of the most theatrical and Italianate mid-18th-century buildings in England with facades designed as classical temples. The interior has Palmyrene painted ceilings and decoration, and pictures, furniture and sculpture all dating from the time of the 2nd baronet, Sir Francis Dashwood, founder of the Dilettanti Society and infamous member of the Hellfire Club. The interior remains as he left it in 1789, a splendid rococo symphony of marble, marquetry, and intricate plasterwork. Dashwood also created the perfectly preserved rococo landscape garden set in the beautiful Chilterns countryside. West Wycombe village also belongs to the National Trust but West Wycombe Caves and adjacent café are privately owned.
Garden: Carefully preserved rococco landscape garden by Sir Francis Dashwood is the perfect counterpart to the theatrical, Italianate home he created in the mid-18th century. There is no shortage of statues and grottoes, and the ornamental lake reflects the mature trees of the park.
