Wrest Park
Wrest Park from Heathrow Airport
Heathrow arrivals to Wrest Park. About 55 minutes each way, near enough, over 46.4 miles of the M25, M1 and A6. This is a country estate near Silsoe. Gardens span around 300 years of design, including the Long Water, Archer Pavilion, Bath House and Chinese Temple. The house is Grade I listed and has a Grade I listed park and garden. London Luton Airport is the nearest of the main airports by road, about 33 minutes' drive (14.2 miles).
How the day runs
The chauffeur follows the flight and is waiting in arrivals, so the day starts as you clear the hall. The luxury people-carrier is chosen to fit the party. The chauffeur brings you to the entrance of Wrest Park and stays close for the return. If you want lunch away from the house, The Bull Hotel is about 10 minutes from the gates. Pair it with Ascott House, about 38 minutes by road. The way back to Heathrow Airport is about 58 minutes — and the car can drop you at the terminal for an evening flight.
