Foliejon Park, Grade II listed country house in Winkfield, England.

The grand manor features medieval architecture with detailed stonework, including period windows and decorative chimneys rising above the roofline.

The estate, originally named Belestre, was granted by King Edward I to John Drokensford, Bishop of Bath and Wells in the 14th century.

From 1942 to 1945, Foliejon Park served as the residence of King Haakon VII and the Norwegian government during their exile from Nazi occupation.

The private residence stands visible from the hill above Drift Road, though access remains restricted to the general public.

A holy well on the grounds, dedicated to St. Hubert, was long believed to cure eye ailments according to local tradition.
