The estate also has a bowling green and a pitch and putt golf course. When you visit the Estate you can still see buildings and gardens that date from the time when this was a grand home to Princess Amelia and the Rothschild family.
For example if you play golf here, look across the Round Pond to see the classical 18th century temple. Meanwhile the museum, housed in the Rothschild’s former mansion, offers ornate painted ceilings for you to admire.
