Ascott House National Trust

Ascott House is a beautiful 17th-century timber-framed house maintained by the National Trust. Situated near Leighton Buzzard in Bedfordshire it was transformed in the 19th Century by the Rothschilds family.

What is there to do at Ascott House National Trust?

They do have limited opening times, especially for the house as the house is still lived in. You can visit the ground floor and amongst the splendour of the house, you will spot aspects of modern life. The house is certainly a winner for anyone who loves horses as they have a huge number of horse paintings and sculptures.

The main thing to see at Ascott House is the gardens. In the Lynn garden, there is a pond and a small woodland. Kids will love the hills to run around on and places to hide. The gardens to the rear of the house are enormous. There are fountains and sculptures plus lots of secret walkways. The gardens benefit from amazing views. It can take a good few hours to wander around all of the estate.
