Waddesdon Manor in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire is one of Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild's National Trust properties and the turreted chateau is as relevant today as it was in the late 19th century. Waddesdon Manor has a fine collection from Old Dutch Masters to fine French porcelain, a tour of Ferdinand de Rothschild's art collection is one of the many highlights for any visitor. The collection has been lovingly restored and preserved, with a wide variety of contemporary works added.There's something magical about Waddesdon's Victorian landscaped gardens. Each turn of the pathway reveals a surprise with stunning floral displays, beautiful marble sculptures or views that stretch as far as the eye can see. Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild created a garden of beauty and wonder in the late 19th century. The gardens are renowned for their treasures and with acres of landscaped grounds to explore and the collection of garden sculptures has also been enriched, with the addition of works by contemporary artists. One of the most unusual features of the garden is the Aviary that was finished in 1889. The structure is made of cast iron, and is painted and gilded in the style of a rococo trelliswork pavilion. This is a rare example of a working aviary housed in an historical structure, restored to its full beauty and stocked with colourful birds including a few rare species. Waddesdon are very proud of their own captive breeding programme and they also support conservation in the wild. There are plenty of delights to discover and adventures to be had at every twist and turn, including the Aviary garden, Aviary Glade, Baron's Walk, Carpet bedding, Daffodil Valley, Frog Fountain, Miss Alice's Drive, Parterre & Fountains, Rose Gardens, Tropical Mound, Tulip Patch, Water Gardens, Wildlife Interpretation Trail and the Woodland Playground. There is something for everyone including several cafes and restaurants, toy and sweets shops, gifts, jewellery, homewares, furniture, fine food and wine shop, plant centre, contemporary art galleries, to name a few attractions. Come and enjoy a prestigious friendly family day with the P6 Rover Owners Club.
