Sudbury Hall is a magnificent 17th-century country mansion. Now managed by the National Trust and rebranded as The Children's Country House, it blends grand Restoration architecture with interactive exhibits, making it a highly engaging, family-friendly destination. Built between 1660 and 1680 by George Vernon, it is considered one of the finest Restoration mansions in the country. Inside, you’ll find exquisite plasterwork, intricate wood carvings (some by Grinling Gibbons), and sweeping classical murals. Unlike traditional stately homes, it is designed to be fully hands-on. Visitors can try period dancing, pose for portraits, or play parlour game The estate features landscaped parkland, ornamental lakes (including a lilypond dating back to 1690), and outdoor woodland play areas.

Sometimes described as the most beautiful modern church in England, this magnificent sandstone building, with an embattled central tower, dates back to the 1870s and was the inspiration of Emily Meynell Ingram, daughter of the first Viscount Halifax, who was widowed after only eight years of marriage. She commissioned the church, designed by George Frederick Bodley and generally acknowledged as an architectural masterpiece, as a lasting monument to the memory of her husband, Hugo.
