A country retreat on a grand scale, Cliveden’s magnificent gardens and breath-taking views have been admired for centuries. The 152 hectares of garden and woodland include a magnificent parterre, a water garden and miles of woodland walks with spectacular views of the Thames. Cliveden was once the glittering hub of society; visited by virtually every British Monarch since George I and home to Waldorf and Nancy Astor in the early 20th century. Cliveden was renowned for hosting exclusive parties and political gatherings, and later became infamously associated with the Profumo Affair. Hosts the National Collection of Catalpa (the Indian Bean Tree.)
