Basildon Park
Basildon Park is a handsome Palladian mansion set in the Thames Valley in Berkshire, rescued from near-dereliction in the 1950s and lovingly restored to its Georgian elegance. The interiors are light-filled and serene, with fine plasterwork and a notable collection of paintings, and the house gained a whole new audience as a filming location for 'Pride and Prejudice'. The parkland surrounding it offers peaceful walks with views across the gentle Berkshire countryside.
