Audley End House and Gardens

Audley End House is a country house from the 17th century. Originally the house was three times larger and considered one of the most beautiful buildings in the Jacobin style in England. It is now open to the public. Attention is drawn to the large hall, public apartments, private wardrobes, library and the 18th-century Gothic chapel. The residence also has a rich art collection and antique furnishings.

In the children's room, restored to the condition of the 1830s, you can see how the children of that time lived here with their governess, nannies and teachers. You can find here, among others their toys and furniture. In turn, in the wing formerly intended for servants, you can see the difficult living conditions of servants from the Victorian era.

The residence is adjacent to gardens designed by two of the most famous and influential designers of the 18th century, Lancelot Brown and Robert Adam. They contain many neoclassical monuments and decorative bridges over the river Cam flowing here.
