Waddeson Manor
A Rothchild House and Gardens
 

Waddesdon Manor is a country house in the village of Waddesdon, in Buckinghamshire, England. It was built in the late 19th century for Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild in the Neo-Renaissance style of a French chateau.

The house has late-19th-century formal and informal gardens surrounded by exotic woodland. The gardens occupy an area of about 48 hectares and lie within a park and agricultural estate which at its most extensive covered 1300 hectares. The gardens are owned by The National Trust and are open to the public.
