Arguably the finest country house in Cambridgeshire, bequeathed to the National Trust by the daughter of Rudyard Kipling. Celebrated architects and landscape designers developed both the mansion and parkland into a place of beauty and graceful living.

James Gibbs' splendid Library and Sir John Soane's extraordinary Yellow Drawing Room and Bath House are amongst the unusual architectural features of the Mansion, whilst the works of Humphrey I. Repton, Sanderson Miller (the Gothic Folly) and 'Capability' Brown abound in the wooded park. Visitors can see over thirty rooms in the Hall including the Library, plunge bath and basements.
