Appuldurcombe is an 18th-century Baroque house approached via a long private drive. The house sits in lovely gardens designed by Capability Brown. The house is sadly little more than a shell, but you can admire the wonderful architecture and enjoy the 11-acre gardens. Displays tell the story of the house, and there is a falconry centre on the site.
