Wilton House

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

Begun in 1630 on earlier Tudor foundations, with contributions at various points by Inigo Jones, James Wyatt, and William Kent. Highlights are Jones' state rooms, the Single Cube (30 x 30 x 30 feet) and the Double Cube (60 x 30 x 30 feet). Paintings by Breughel and Rubens.
Garden: Four new gardens were added to Wilton by the late 17th Earl: the North Forecourt, Old English Rose, Water and Cloister gardens. However, gardening has a long history at Wilton; starting in 1632 Isaac De Caus set out on an ambitious plan for extensive water gardens, taking advantage of the estate's location on the River Nadder. A Palladian bridge was constructed over the river in 1737 by the ninth Earl. more details ...
