Just 30 miles from London, Ashridge House is a spectacular hidden gem located in the heart of the Ashridge Estate.

Step outside and find yourself surrounded by a whopping 190 acres of glorious private gardens – perfect for a lazy stroll, an adventure with the kids, or a spot of weekend exploring. Discover the Italianate garden, maze and tree-lined walkways while in spring and summer the blooms are an insta-worthy riot of colour. Want garden tickets? Easy. Book online or grab them at the gate. Hungry? No problem. The Bakehouse is a charming, on-site dog-friendly café serving up hearty brunches, fresh lunches plus coffee and cakes.

But Ashridge House isn’t just all looks, it’s also buzzing year round with incredible events. From magical Christmas light trails and Champagne house tours to elegant afternoon teas, there’s always something special happening here.
