Doddington Hall is a much loved family home and has never been sold since it was built in 1595 by Robert Smythson, one of England's foremost Elizabethan architects. The mellow brick exterior with its walled courtyards has barely changed while the interior was redecorated in Georgian times in a light and elegant style. The original courtyards now enclose fabulous gardens, whilst beyond the walls you will discover romantic wild gardens and nature walks.
Over 400 years of unbroken family occupation has resulted in fascinating collections of furniture, paintings, ceramics and textiles along with a wealth of amusing stories. A visit offers a unique insight into family life through the ages and the challenges of maintaining Doddington in the 21st Century.
The newly restored kitchen garden produces fruit and vegetables for the award-winning Farm Shop & Cafe.
