An unusual Dutch style building hidden in a valley of the Lambourn
Downs. It has been likened to a doll's house. The home of the Earl of Craven who was an admirer and supporter of Elizabeth, Queen of Bohemia. Elizabeth was the sister of Charles I.
There are guided tours of the house which take you from the Hall, up a
magnificent staircase to the roof. Views from the roof are over three counties.
