Audley End House
Audley End House and Gardens is the best place in England to discover how a great house worked in the past. You can explore the great hall, state rooms and intimate private apartments, all decorated with fine furniture and works of art.
In the 1830s nursery, kids will love trying on costumes and playing with replica toys. Upstairs in the Coal Gallery, see how servants kept the house stocked with coal and hot water.
The Service Wing offers a unique insight into life ‘below stairs’ during the 1880s. The domain of Mrs Avis Crocombe, Victorian cook (and 21st-century YouTube star!), the wing is packed with Victorian fittings and animated with lifelike sights and sounds.
Don’t miss the resident horses in their grand stables. The grounds at Audley End were designed by Capability Brown, so there's acres of beautiful, award winning parkland to explore too.
