Discover the story of Lord Fairhaven as you explore his home. Experience the golden age of English country house living and enjoy 1930s luxury…for a few hours at least. Behind its Jacobean-style exterior, Anglesey Abbey is a treasure trove. Sumptuous furnishings, fine books and works of art, as well as a collection of French and English clocks can be seen. The house is set in 114 acres of garden with rolling lawns, sweeping avenues, formal gardens and a working watermill. Encounter colour and scent for every season and a remarkable collection of sculpture.
