Buscot Park, English country house and gardens in Buscot, Oxfordshire, England
Buscot Park is a neoclassical house set within grounds designed around formal gardens and water features. The property includes rills, fountains, and seasonal plantings arranged across its landscape in structured patterns.
The house was built between 1780 and 1783 for Edward Loveden Loveden as his country retreat. It passed to the National Trust in 1956 while remaining under the active management of the Faringdon family.
The house displays the Faringdon Collection, featuring paintings by Rembrandt and works from the Pre-Raphaelite movement. Visitors encounter artworks that shaped the family's tastes and reveal how art collecting was part of country house life.
The grounds can be walked at a leisurely pace with clear paths leading through the gardens and around the house. Wear comfortable footwear as the terrain varies between flat sections and gentle slopes throughout the property.
A private railway once circulated around the estate until 1900, transporting goods from the farmland operations. This small railway system was connected to advanced irrigation technology that supplied water to the agricultural areas.
