Castle Ashby House, Grade I listed country house in Castle Ashby, England
The stone mansion features an E-shaped floor plan with a Latin inscription on its parapet and sits within 35 acres of formal gardens.
Built between 1574 and 1600, Castle Ashby House received its first royal visit from Queen Elizabeth I, with a household staff of 83 servants.
The estate combines Elizabethan architectural elements with formal gardens, including Italian-style sections, an Orangery, and an extensive Arboretum.
The gardens remain open daily from 10 AM to 4 PM, with a tearoom serving refreshments between 10:30 AM and 3:30 PM.
The house maintains a connection to literature as scholars suggest Jane Austen used it as inspiration for the estate in Mansfield Park.
