Ickworth House
Ickworth House in Suffolk is one of the most architecturally eccentric country houses in England — a vast oval rotunda flanked by curved wings, designed for the eccentric Earl-Bishop of Bristol at the end of the 18th century. Its scale and ambition are astonishing, and the state rooms house a remarkable collection of Georgian silver and Old Master paintings. The sweeping parkland, laid out in the English landscape style, adds to the sense of theatrical grandeur.
- Extraordinary neoclassical oval rotunda
- Important Georgian silver collection
- Sweeping Suffolk parkland
Best for architecture enthusiasts and those drawn to the grandest, most singular expressions of Georgian ambition.
