Woodchester Mansion: a chauffeured day
Woodchester Mansion, with the car waiting while you visit. The architect was Benjamin Bucknall of Rodborough, who blended local limestone building traditions with the ideas of Viollet-le-Duc. Floors, ceilings and plaster are missing, so visitors can see how the house was constructed. The house is run by the Woodchester Mansion Trust, not the National Trust, in a secluded Cotswold valley. The house sets its opening days each season, so check its calendar before the trip.
