Lydney Park, English country house in Lydney, England
The estate encompasses a mansion built in 1875, surrounded by formal gardens, woodland areas, and an 8-acre parkland with resident deer herds.
The Romans constructed a temple complex dedicated to the Celtic deity Nodens on this site during the 4th century, incorporating baths and guest accommodations.
The Dutch royal family found refuge at Lydney Park during World War II before the mansion transformed into an educational institution for girls.
The museum within Lydney Park displays archaeological findings, including 8,000 Roman coins, statues, mosaics, and bronze artifacts from excavations.
J.R.R. Tolkien participated in archaeological excavations at the Roman camp, drawing inspiration from local Celtic mythology for his literary works.
