Canons Ashby is a tranquil Tudor manor built using the remains of a medieval priory, the house, gardens and parkland have survived largely unaltered since 1710. The grand rooms, stunning tapestries and Jacobean plasterwork, contrast with the domestic detail of the servants' quarters.
Thenford Arboretum is spread out over 70 acres, featuring a collection of more than 3000 different trees and shrubs, with extensive herbaceous borders, water gardens, an alpine trough garden, a sculpture garden, and a rose garden. Be prepared for rough terrain in some parts.
