Audley End House and Gardens, Essex
Built for entertaining in the 17th century, Audley End House is a magnificent building, and includes a Victorian Service Wing complete with kitchen, laundries and a dairy, all of which are open to the public.
Visitors can also go and see the newly restored stables recently opened, complete with horses and interactive exhibition. The grounds of Audley End are beautiful and include an impressive formal garden and the working Organic Kitchen Garden.
The Capability Brown parkland still includes many of the mock-classical monuments. The grounds are divided by the River Cam, which is crossed by several ornate bridges, and a main road which follows the route of a Roman road.
The walled kitchen garden in its grounds was painstakingly restored by Garden Organic, the UK's leading organic growing charity, in 1999 from an overgrown, semi-derelict state. Renovated to its former glory it now looks as it would have done in late Victorian times; full of vegetables, fruits, herbs and flowers.
