The car park is a reasonable walk away from the manor (about a 20-minute walk with some steep parts) so would recommend taking the shuttle bus. It only costs £2.50 per person and you can buy tickets on the day from the Welcome Pavillion.
Food can be quite expensive at Waddesdon (and queues get big during summer months) so we always bring a picnic to enjoy in the sun.
Our group is really big on history so it was great to see such impressive collections of porcelain and stunning imagery
Ever wondered how you’d splurge once you’ve made your fortune? In the 19th century, Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild blew his Benjamins on this French-Renaissance chateau, stuffed it with art and antiques, then had champagne on his cornflakes every morning. Ok, we made that last bit up.
Since then, it’s been used as a filming location for some of our favourite period dramas including Bridgerton, Downton Abbey, and The Crown making it a must-visit for superfans.
Highlights include a clever mechanical elephant (apparently the Shah of Persia was a big fan), intricately carved fireplaces and massive gold mirrors. There’s also a desk made for Marie Antoinette, paintings by Gainsborough, and lots of lethal-looking guns, swords, and axes.
The grounds are really relaxing to walk in, and you might see the Flint House on your stroll – a cool contemporary building that’s a sanctuary for academics and artists. If you fancy seeing a mini Versailles in some lovely Buckinghamshire surroundings, Waddesdon Manor is a top pick.
