Sezincote House

Highlight • Historical Site

Sezincote is unique. At the heart of a traditional, family-run estate covering 3,500 acres of rolling Cotswold countryside stands a 200-year-old Mogul Indian palace, set in a romantic landscape of temples, grottoes, waterfalls and canals reminiscent of the Taj Mahal.

An Indian Mansion
The Estate is run to traditional English standards, with a mixed farming enterprise allowing plenty of permanent grassland and proper fencing, complemented by well managed woodlands that provide not only timber but also good wildlife habitat.

The House, however, is far from traditional - it was built in the “Indian Style”, a unique combination of Hindu and Muslim architecture. The gardens were designed with the help of Humphrey Repton. Sezincote is credited with influencing the design of the Brighton pavilion after a visit by The Prince Regent in 1807.

June 10, 2025,Longborough & Bourton-on-the-Hill loop — The Cotswolds
Another cracking walk. Two typically lovely Cotswold villages, two ancient churches and open countryside. Oh, and Sezincote House. I got this route from Komoot and stuck to it faithfully for a change. Apart from the bit where I took the wrong turning. Several fields full of cows, calves and bulls on this walk. However, the farmers/land owners have created alternative …
