Buscot Park

Buscot Park is a late 18th-century neoclassical house set in landscaped parkland on the edge of the Cotswolds, near Faringdon. It is still the family home of Lord Faringdon, who look after the house and collection on behalf of the National Trust. Inside, visitors can wander freely through the rooms, which hold the Faringdon Collection of Old Master paintings and a well-known series of Burne-Jones paintings, with information guides in each room. Outside, the Italianate water garden designed by Harold Peto, the walled kitchen garden and the lakes and parkland give families plenty of space for a relaxed walk. The tea room and ticket office sit close to the car park. It suits a slower afternoon out with older children who enjoy art and gardens, rather than a fast-paced play visit.
