A prime example of a High Victorian Mixed Style garden, made with the great resources of the Rothschild family. The house, started in 1877, is French. Five parallel drives lead to the north front. The garden contains Italian terraces,a lavish aviary, a rock garden made from artificial Pulham stone, Italian, French and Dutch statues, a large collection of specimen trees and shrubs. The practice of furnishing the terraces with elaborate bedding has been resumed.
Waddesdon has one of the finest Victorian gardens in Britain, featuring a parterre, seasonal displays, shady walks and views, fountains and statuary. At its heart lies the Aviary, stocked with species that were once part of Baron Ferdinand’s collection.
