Dropmore Park, Grade I listed building in South Bucks, England.
Dropmore Park is a Georgian country house set on a hilltop in South Bucks, with extensive gardens and mature woodland surrounding the main building. The estate comprises residential structures, landscaped grounds, and forested areas that together form a substantial private rural property.
The estate was founded in 1792 by Lord Grenville, Prime Minister under George III, with architect Samuel Wyatt designing the south range. Following a major fire in 1990, the building underwent extensive restoration and was subsequently developed into multiple private luxury residences.
The estate features a 25-hectare pinetum created in the 1820s, which contained the largest collection of conifer species in Britain during that period.
The estate sits south of Beaconsfield near Cliveden Road and Dropmore Road with good road access to the area. Visitors should confirm public access beforehand, as parts of the property are privately held and may have restricted visiting times.
The estate became known in the 1800s for its remarkable collection of rare conifer species, which was among the finest in Britain at that time. This botanical collection made it an important destination for naturalists and plant specialists of the era.
