On the way back we stopped off at Cliveden. Known for it's gardens, restaurants and accomodation, this National Trust property was certainly a beautiful place to walk around. Today the National Trust has leased the house as a five-star hotel operating in the style of an Edwardian country house. Its proximity to London and to Heathrow Airport make it a popular destination. The grounds are listed by the National Trust as one of the finest gardens in the country.

Cliveden is slowly being restored.	Cobblestone entrance flows into a long gravel driveway.	The Clocktower.	Close up of the Clock.
Built in 1851 it will take years to restore.	The Orangery - we stopped in for tea and scones.	These flower beds are filled with flowers / lavender during spring.	The rear of Cliveden.
The clothes tell it all. It was a little on the cool side.	A Japanese temple in the garden.	Contemplating crossing the rock bridge.	Gai made it safely, as did all of us.
