Cliveden
Cliveden is a place of extraordinary beauty and extraordinary scandal, a high Victorian mansion perched above wooded cliffs overlooking a great bend in the Thames in Buckinghamshire. The terraced gardens and river views are simply stunning, and the estate's colourful past — from the Astor family's famous political salons to the Profumo affair — gives every visit a frisson of intrigue. The Thames-side walks through ancient woodland are some of the best in the Home Counties.
- Clifftop gardens above the Thames
- Rich and scandalous social history
- Magnificent riverside woodland walks
Best for history lovers, river walkers, and anyone who enjoys a grand setting with a good story.
