A fabulous stately home built by William Blathwayte, Secretary of State to William III. In 1692 Blathwayte began to build an opulent mansion on the foundations of an earlier house. He chose what can charitable be described as a peculiar mix of styles - a combination of French, Dutch, and Italianate design, but the result is superb. The interior is overflowing with superb portraits, particularly Dutch artwork. Other highlights include wood-panelled rooms and an ornate state bed, The house stands in wonderful parkland with both water features and formal garden areas.

Lodge Park is a 17th-century 'grandstand' built as an observation point for viewers to watch deer coursing, a form of race between deer and hunting dogs. John Dutton, lord of the Sherborne Estate, had Lodge Park erected so that he and his guests could watch the coursing in comfort, play cards, dance, or simply socialise. There are very few grandstands still in existence, which makes Lodge Park's survival so impressive. The grandstand has been restored to its original condition by the National Trust and stands amid lovely parkland laid out by Charles Bridgeman.

Wow! A maze of rooms crammed full of the decidedly eclectic (and eccentric) collections of Charles Paget Wade, who rebuilt the ruined Cotswold manor from 1919. Crammed into every nook and cranny is a jumble of objects from bicycles to toys, musical instruments, masks, spinning wheels, and on and on. All of the finest craftsmanship.
