Rousham

A 17th Century house built by Sir Robert Dormer and still in the ownership of the same family, with a wonderful 20 acre William Kent garden - a rare surviving example with ponds, cascades, stone built features and statues. Rousham's gardens were designed by William Kent in the 1730s. Remaining virtually unaltered to this day, they are internationally renowned as a rare survival from the dawn of English landscape gardening.
