Claydon House - NT You'll love Claydon if you enjoy a period drama (many were filmed here) and great architecture. Seat of the Verney family for over 400 years. Visit soon.

Historic house and garden in the Buckingham, Milton Keynes and Aylesbury area. Claydon House is an unexpected jewel tucked away in the heart of Buckinghamshire countryside. With its graceful appearance, peaceful setting and extraordinary Rococo interiors, it is a rich treasure trove with a fascinating history just waiting to be explored.

* Georgian country house, decorated in fine Chinoise and rococo style
* Intricate wood-carvings and a spectacular parquetry staircase
* Lovely elevated setting in unspoilt countryside
* Mementoes of Florence Nightingale who was once a regular visitor
* Fascinating associations with the Civil War and the Crimean War

Ours is the story of one family, The Verneys, who have owned the estates at Claydon since the 1460’s. Within the confines of a remarkable eighteenth century folly one can venture back and forth in time and engage in the remarkable story of one families fluctuating fortunes. The Verney family and the National Trust are delighted to share this remarkable place with you. The National Trust is a registered charity no 205846
