Activity
Our 7-mile circular walk is to the French renaissance-styled chateau of Waddesdon Manor, the creation of the Rothschild magnate in 1883. The walk to Waddesdon follows footpaths through the Buckinghamshire countryside of woods and meadows. Waddesdon has a priceless collection of the highest quality French furniture and decorative arts in its 45 rooms. The paintings include great works by Reynolds, Gainsborough and a fabulous collection of the works of the 17th century Dutch masters. After the tour we will have lunch in the gardens, full of seasonal delights and a Rococo-styled aviary. Dogs can be taken into the gardens. The return to the station is via the newly opened Waddesdon Greenway following Akeman Street, the Roman road to St Albans.
Refreshments
Pub in Waddesdon village, café at the Manor with picnic tables
