Avington Park, Grade I listed country house in Itchen Valley, England.

The two-story brick building features a 13-bay frontage with five central recessed bays and displays both slate and lead roofing materials throughout its structure.

Originally constructed in the late 16th century by John Clerk, the house underwent reconstruction in the 17th century when George William Brydges added a service courtyard and banqueting hall.

The estate maintains original painted frescoes, decorative gilding, and contains a notable Grinling Gibbons mirror alongside artifacts from the Battle of Trafalgar.

The house opens its doors to visitors during summer months and bank holidays between 2:30 PM and 5:00 PM for guided tours of selected rooms.

The park grounds were once home to the last known inland-breeding ravens in Hampshire, as documented by W.H. Hudson in his 1913 book 'Adventures Among Birds'.
