Upton House and Gardens
Upton House in Warwickshire sits on the Edge Hill escarpment and holds one of the finest private art collections to be left to the National Trust, assembled in the 1920s and 30s by Lord Bearsted of the Shell oil family. Inside, Old Masters rub shoulders with Sèvres porcelain and Brussels tapestries, while outside the terraced gardens descend steeply into a secret valley, complete with kitchen garden and pool. It is a place that consistently surprises.
- Outstanding Old Masters art collection
- Secret terraced valley garden

Best for art collectors at heart and garden explorers who love an unexpected surprise.
