West Wycombe Park
The house is a long rectangle with four façades that are columned and pedimented, three theatrically so. The house encapsulates the entire progression of British 18th-century architecture from early idiosyncratic Palladian to the Neoclassical, although anomalies in its design make it architecturally unique. The mansion is set within an 18th-century landscaped park containing many small temples and follies, which act as satellites to the greater temple, the house.
West Wycombe Park is open to visitors through The National Trust from 2pm – 6pm Sunday to Thursday, in April and May (Grounds only) and June to August (House and Grounds).
