Dyrham Park
A Baroque country house with an ancient deer park, managed by the National Trust, and a popular filming location for period dramas.
Dyrham Park lies about 18 km east of Bristol in South Gloucestershire. It was built in the late 17th century by William Blathwayt, a minister to William III, and the house retains furniture in the style of the Dutch Golden Age, Delft ceramics and leather wall hangings. In front of the house is a roughly 110-hectare ancient deer park with a herd of fallow deer. The classic view of the house and gardens is from the top of the hillside, and the film 'The Remains of the Day' was shot here. It is managed by the National Trust, with admission of about £17 (free for members). Located beside the A46 road about 13 km from Bath, it can be combined with a trip to Bath, but you'll need a car.
