Walking through these historic spaces allows you to connect with the past in a unique way. To add a Victorian touch, try one of the last remaining Victorian bowling alleys and enjoy this traditional pastime. As you tour the estate, admire the architecture of Sir Christopher Wren, whose designs have made the venue one of the most in-demand film sets, appearing in productions such as The Crown, Les Miserables, Thor: The Dark World, Cruella and Bridgerton. There are also special tours focused on its cinematic history.
