Fine English Art & Architecture - London & Somerset

England’s greatest cultural achievement, the place where its creative genius most truly flowered, is the country house – a living showcase for the architectural and artistic legacy of the nation’s grandest patrons. This tour, taking in both London and the delightful West Country, gives a unique insight into how the aristocracy lived both in town and country. After three days enjoying the unrivalled cultural riches of London we base ourselves at luxurious Ston Easton in Somerset, from where we venture out on excursions to country estates great and small and enjoy private hospitality – and musical recitals – in England’s two most delectable cathedral cities.
