A series of flat, paved, traffic-free roads will lead you around the beautiful, well-kept grounds of Waddesdon Estate.

Waddesdon Manor is a magnificent 18th-century French Renaissance-style country manor house situated in the town of Waddesdon in Buckinghamshire. As you're running by, look down the avenue and enjoy the sheer beauty and magnitude of this sensational building.

Serene countryside vistas to feast your eyes upon.

The powerhouse for the Manor. With the original lift inside

For the light festival the Parterre was changed into a light spectacular in keeping with the illuminated house. Waddesdon is famous for its Carpet Bedding and every spring and summer we change the design of the beds on the Parterre and on either side of the South Fountain. A French-inspired formal garden, a parterre is made up of a symmetrical pattern of beds set off by mown grass and contained by neat pathways and low clipped hedges. Usually designed to be seen from above, in our case from the raised terrace and the main reception rooms and bedrooms on the south side of the Manor. In the centre sits a magnificent fountain, originally made for an Italian palace in Colorno. The parterre was restored in 1994 to designs by Beth Rothschild. In 2000 Waddesdon won the Europa Nostra award for ‘the extraordinary re-creation with modern techniques of a major Victorian garden’.

To mark Remembrance, a large-scale art installation returns to the grounds at Waddesdon. The silhouettes of 400 life-size soldiers, sailors and airmen and 250 poppy wreaths will be displayed in the wider grounds at Waddesdon in a striking art installation, the largest Standing with Giants installation in the UK. A group is displayed on the hill on which the Manor stands. Together, they create a moving statement of commemoration, which offers space to reflect and connect within the natural landscape. The display is created in partnership with Standing With Giants, a community-based project which works to raise understanding and appreciation of our freedom and to remember and pay tribute to those who gave their lives so we could live ours today.

PERSPECTIVE: "a way of thinking about or viewing something" The concept of Perspective is immersive reflection. Everywhere you look, a different image point of yourself appears within the space. Move around the space to experience different perspectives exploring the interplay of light and form as you become part of the artwork.
