Cottesbrooke Hall & Gardens

Cottesbrooke Hall & Gardens

This magnificent Queen Anne house dating from 1702 is set in delightful rural Northamptonshire. The Hall’s beauty is matched by the magnificence of the gardens and views and by the excellence of the picture, furniture and porcelain collections it houses. The Woolavington collection of sporting pictures at Cottesbrooke is possibly one of the finest of its type in Europe and includes paintings by Stubbs, Ben Marshall and many other artists renowned for works of this genre, from the mid 18th century to the present day. Portraits, bronzes, 18th century English and French furniture and fine porcelain are also among the treasures of Cottesbrooke Hall. In the formal gardens a huge 300-year-old cedar sets off the magnificent double herbaceous borders, pools and lily-ponds. In midsummer, visitors enjoy the splendid array of planters, a sight not to be missed. The Wild Garden is a short walk across the Park and is planted along the course of a stream with its small cascades and arched bridges. Previously winner of the HHA/Christie’s Garden of the Year Award. Nominated as one of the best gardens in the world in "1001 Gardens you must see before you die".
