Upton House & Gardens

Recommended by Visit England Logo
Overview
Upton House is a 17th-century house that was the country residence of Lord and Lady Bearsted during the 1930s, and is set among stunning terraced gardens. Inside you will find plenty of evidence of their wealthy lifestyle, including sparkling art deco interiors, masterpieces by Bosch, El Greco and Stubbs, iconic Sèvres tableware and 18th-century Chelsea figures. On the south terrace you can see the work of Lady Bearsted's friend and garden designer, Kitty Lloyd Jones. Stroll down the sweeping lawn and the terraced Mediterranean banks, and relax by the mirror pool. There is also a kitchen garden which is being restored to its 1930s condition.

About the area
The sparkle of sunlight on a gentle river as it meanders through beautiful countryside; the reflections of sailing boats on a lake; relaxing with a pint in the garden of an old English pub in a picturesque village; brightly coloured narrow boats making their way through a flight of lock gates; the imposing silhouette of an historic castle. These are the scenes that make Warwickshire a delight.
