Houghton Hall & Gardens: An Exceptional Day Out for Every Visitor!
Constructed in the 1720s for Britain's first Prime Minister, Sir Robert Walpole, Houghton Hall is now the residence of the 7th Marquess of Cholmondeley, a direct descendant of Sir Robert Walpole, and his family. The Hall, surrounded by extensive parkland, is known for its iconic white fallow deer and features notable attractions, including an award-winning Walled Garden, the world's largest private collection of model soldiers in the Model Soldier Museum, and a charming Cafe and Gift Shop.
Additionally, the Sculpture Park features an impressive permanent collection of contemporary sculptures. In 2024, major solo exhibitions by Antony Gormley and Magdalene Odundo are scheduled.
