Hinton Ampner House

Hinton Ampner House is a three-story brick mansion with Georgian architecture located in Hampshire. The building was reconstructed after a major fire in 1960 and now stands with formal gardens and manicured grounds managed by the National Trust.

The estate was recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086, making it a place of thousand-year-old significance. What began as a Tudor manor was later transformed into a Georgian structure and then restored to its present form following the devastating fire of 1960.

The interiors display furnishings and artworks from the 18th century that reflect how wealthy families of that era chose to decorate and live. You walk through rooms arranged as they would have been when the family occupied them daily.

The property is typically open for guided visits that take you through the rooms, gardens, and surrounding grounds. Wear comfortable shoes, particularly if you plan to explore the different garden sections, as there is considerable walking involved.

The grounds are divided into four distinct formal garden sections connected by open grass pathways, ranging from a valley garden to Mediterranean plantings. This layout allows visitors to move gradually from one garden style to the next, discovering completely different plants and designs as they walk.
