House!
Take a moment to relax in Audley House's tranquil French
parterre garden and feast your eyes on a mosaic of seasonal blooms.
Both you and the kids will love the 1880's stable yard, where
live actors are on hand to teach you a thing or two about the
history of the estate and its regal four-legged friends.
Afterwards, retire to the house itself, where you can explore a
myriad of Jacobean halls and an 18th-century
Gothic-style chapel. And if you grow tired from all the
sight-seeing, head to the Cart Yard café for a pot of tea, and
watch the children burn off some steam in the adjacent themed
playground.
