A visit to Ham House & Strawberry Hill House on Tuesday 21st May 2024
The atmospheric 17th century Ham House sits on the banks of the River Thames in Richmond. It is the creation of the tenacious Duchess of Lauderdale and her husband, the Duke, who together transformed Ham into one of the grandest Stuart houses in England.
Ham House is internationally recognised for its superb collection of paintings, furniture and textiles, largely brought together 400 years ago. Outside, the open and formal restored 17th century gardens surround the house. The gardens include a productive kitchen garden, the maze-like ‘Wilderness’, complete with summerhouses, many beautiful spots that are perfect for a picnic, and the historic Orangery cafe set in one of the earliest examples of an Orangery.
Strawberry Hill House & Garden, created by Horace Walpole in the 18th century, has been open to visitors for over 250 years. This extraordinary building is internationally famous as Britain’s finest example of Georgian Gothic revival architecture and home to an increasingly important collection of paintings and objects.
