Cliveden

Cliveden is set high above the River Thames, and was the glittering hub of society in the early part of the 20th Century when it was the home of the famous Astors.

In the Grade I listed gardens you visitors can explore a series of stunning formal gardens, including the breathtaking parterre, with a fine array of statues and sculpture, all set within extensive grounds with splendid views of the river. The magnificent Cliveden house is now a private country house hotel, part of which is open to National Trust visitors on Thursday and Sunday afternoons (April to October).

Cliveden includes river trips, a shop, 3 restaurants, a refreshment kiosk and picnic areas.
