In this audio tour you can hear BBC Oxford's Tim Bearder and National Trust Volunteer Peter Westcombe as they get in their golf buggy and tour around the estate of this wonderful stately home. In four parts the trip takes you from the temple of Concord and Victory through the formal gardens past the Gothic Temple over the Palladian Bridge up to the Temple of Friendship and on to the main house.
Along the way you’ll hear Peter explaining the history and motivation behind the architecture and design of the garden and finally how the estate went from being owned by the richest commoners in the country to the whole 250 acres being sold for a measly £35,000.
