 Beaulieu
  

Beaulieu has a bit of something for everyone; an informal, homely mansion built upon the ruins of a medieval abbey, and the world famous National Motor Museum. Beaulieu Palace has intriguingly transformed the 14th century Great Gatehouse of Beaulieu Abbey into a comfortable family home beside the River Beaulieu. The major architect of the Victorian Gothic house you see today was Sir Arthur Blomfield, who transformed the earlier medieval building for Lord Henry Scott.

We had the pleasure of visiting here, and our information is based on our personal experiences We took some photos of this location that we'd like to share with you  

Blenheim Palace Can one really call Blenheim a "house"? This place is massive, overwhelming, ostentatious, and amazing for all that. A gift from the grateful Queen Anne to John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough, for his victory over the French at the Battle of Blenheim in 1704. Designed by Vanbrugh, and completed by Hawksmoor, with grounds by Capability Brown. Birthplace of Winston Churchill. Take your time, there's an awful lot to take in.

 Bramall Hall
  

The house is a superb example of Cheshire "black and white" half-timbering, and one of the largest timber-framed houses in the northwest. The core of the house was built in the 14th century, with later Tuor and Jacobean additions around a central courtyard. The final effect, almost self-consciously romantic, is the result of a Victorian rebuilding program. There are fine Tudor rooms, though they are sparsely furnished, but at least this allows good views of the period plasterwork, the original timber roof in the solar, and 16th century wall paintings throughout. In addition the Victorian kitchen and servants' quarters have been restored.

 Bramham Park
  

Bramham Park was built in 1698 by Robert Benson, the 1st Lord Bingley. It was Lord Bingley who was responsible for laying out the extensive landscape gardens around the house which make a visit to Bramham such a delight. The gardens epitomise the transition between the formality of 17th c European gardens such as Versailles, and the informality of later English landscape gardens. The house was built by an unknown architect in the style of a 16th c Florentine villa.

 Brodsworth Hall
  

One of the best examples of an unaltered Victorian country house in England. Brodsworth Hall was built in the 1860s by Italian Chevalier Casentini for Charles Thellusson. Casentini's design was actually executed by the English architect Philip Wilkinson, amd Casentini himself never saw the house. It is possible that Thelusson's choice of an Italianate design was influenced by Queen Victoria's equally Italianate Osborne House, on the Isle of Wight.

 Buscot Park
We had the pleasure of visiting here, and our information is based on our personal experiences We took some photos of this location that we'd like to share with you  

Buscot Park A late 18th-century neo-classical house, set in lovely landscape gardens and parkland. Within the house, owned by the National Trust but administered by Lord Faringdon, are displayed fine furniture and art of the very highest order, including the Faringdon Collection, a superlative collection of Old Master paintings and Pre-Raphaelite artwork. In the grounds is a lovely 20th century water garden composed of canals and classical bridges.
