This unfinished Elizabethan summer house is a magnificent Grade I listed building open to the public to explore. Feel free to roam the rest of the beautiful grounds whilst you're here, there is plenty to discover.

Fascinating Elizabethan Lodge that was never completed following the death of the builder, Sir Thomas Tresham, in 1605. It is operated by The National Trust so, unless you are a member, there is an admission charge to look round the grounds.
