Basildon Park
Build around 1780 and restored in the 1950s this is a classic English country house with some fine rooms.
You'll get best value out of a trip if you pick a warm dry day as the gardens and parkland make for pleasant walks
and there are plenty of picnic tables.
Those who remember Colin Firth starring in Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice will like the exhibition about its filming here. Interesting decor in the cafe. |map| |next attraction|
