Wormsley Park, English country house in Stokenchurch, England.
Wormsley Park is a country house in Stokenchurch, England, spread across a large area in the Chiltern Hills. The estate includes several buildings, a walled garden, a lake, and a cricket ground distributed across the grounds.
The Scrope family founded the estate in the 16th century before it passed to Thomas Fane in 1720. Sir Paul Getty acquired the property in 1985 and redesigned several areas.
The name comes from an Old English word for snake wood, pointing to the original forest landscape. Visitors today see maintained lawns and a cricket pitch that is regularly used for matches.
The estate opens for selected events such as cricket matches and opera performances in summer. Visitors should check in advance when access is granted, as private functions may restrict entry.
The grounds served as a release site for red kites and helped their return to the region. Today visitors can see these birds of prey circling over the hills again.
