Milton Hall, Country house in Castor, England
Milton Hall is a large country residence built of pale stone with extensive gardens and parkland in Cambridgeshire. The façade shows classic English architecture with tall windows and a central entrance, surrounded by groomed lawns and old trees.
The Fitzwilliam family settled here in the 17th century and expanded the property over several generations. The building received official protection in the mid-1950s.
The estate's name reflects the long tenure of the Fitzwilliam family, whose coat of arms can still be seen above certain doorways. In the service buildings beside the main house, you can see how such an estate once operated.
The estate opens to visitors only at certain times of the year, so checking ahead for available days is worthwhile. Walking through the garden grounds can take several hours, and sturdy footwear is advisable.
The estate has its own well that supplied water for centuries. In one part of the park grow tree species planted during the time of the first owners.
