Sezincote House

Go to Broughton-on-the-hill, just behind the Church is a path that joins with Heart of England Way where you can walk to Sezincote House for free. If you want to go in the House and Gardens at close proximity you will need to pay for a ticket and it is usually only open in the week. Check their website for seasonal opening hours.

Sezincote is unique. At the heart of a traditional, family-run estate covering 3,500 acres of rolling Cotswold countryside stands a 200-year-old Mogul Indian palace, set in a romantic landscape of temples, grottoes, waterfalls and canals reminiscent of the Taj Mahal.

An Indian Mansion
The Estate is run to traditional English standards, with a mixed farming enterprise allowing plenty of permanent grassland and proper fencing, complemented by well managed woodlands that provide not only timber but also good wildlife habitat.

The House, however, is far from traditional - it was built in the “Indian Style”, a unique combination of Hindu and Muslim architecture. The gardens were designed with the help of Humphrey Repton. Sezincote is credited with influencing the design of the Brighton pavilion after a visit by The Prince Regent in 1807.

Incredible Indian Mughal Palace, the only of its kind in Europe, try visit in the week when you can explore the House and Gardens for a small fee too.
