Ham House & Garden

Ham House and Gardens is the creation of the Duchess of Lauderdale and her husband, the Duke, who together transformed Ham into one of the grandest Stuart houses in England. Ham House has a collection of paintings, furniture and textiles, largely acquired 400 years ago. Outside, the open and formal restored 17th-century gardens surround the house and they include a productive kitchen garden that contains many heritage crops, the maze-like ‘Wilderness’, complete with summerhouses, and many beautiful spots perfect for a picnic.
