Built between 1776-1783, Basildon Park is a Georgian mansion surrounded by parkland. In the 1950's it was restored to its former glory by Lord and Lady Liffe. The house today is the re-creation of the 18th-century mansion. The Octagon drawing room has many fine pictures and furniture and there is a small formal garden. The house featured in the 2005 film adaptation of 'Pride and Prejudice' as well as being used for the 2013 season of Downton Abbey.

Very nice gardens and woodland but not particularly much to do apart from walking around and overpriced to do so.
