Anglesey Abbey, Country house museum in Lode, England.
Anglesey Abbey is a Jacobean-style manor house in Lode, England, surrounded by extensive garden grounds. The building houses artworks and decorative collections within its historic rooms.
The site served as an Augustinian priory from 1100 until Henry VIII dissolved the monasteries. Lord Fairhaven purchased the estate in the 20th century and reshaped it into its current form.
The interiors reflect Lord Fairhaven's taste for assembling a private museum within his home. Visitors today walk through rooms where he arranged timepieces, paintings, and furniture over several decades.
The National Trust manages the grounds and offers paths for walks through gardens and interiors. Visitors find an information center, dining options, and parking on site.
The Winter Garden displays more than 250 plant species chosen for the cold season. White-barked birches and winter-flowering shrubs shape the appearance of this layout.
