The Mythe, English country house in Tewkesbury, England.
The Mythe is an early Georgian country house sitting on a hill with a Gothic facade added to its front and sides. Today it operates as a sheep and arable farm that also hosts events.
The house was built in 1753 and later changed when the Marquis de Lis bought the property and added servants' quarters. These modifications shape the complex as it stands today.
The name comes from Old English and refers to the place where two rivers meet, reflecting the area's geography. This meaning still shows in the landscape visitors see today.
The location sits on a hill and may require walking from the car park, so good footwear helps. Bring weather-appropriate clothing, as the high ground can be exposed to wind.
Next to the house stands King John's Castle with a medieval staircase tower connected to a Tudor building. This rare combination of different periods offers visitors an interesting contrast in architecture.
