Shake a tail-feather for a short drive out to Holdenby House. This wonderful British stately home has grounds to die for and a fascinating Falconry. A huge Grade 1 listed formal English garden proudly maintains one of the best-preserved Elizabethan rose gardens in Britain. And you'll delight in the quaint walled kitchen garden with original Victorian greenhouses.

The gardens and Falconry Centre are open every Sunday and Bank Holiday Monday from 4 May to 31 August inclusive (with teas and shop). The gardens only will be open on Sundays in April and September.
