Heckfield Place
Heckfield Place is a sprawling historic estate surrounded by over 400 acres of Hampshire countryside. The original building dates back to 1790 built as a large and handsome mansion, in an extensive and well-wooded park. East of the house, Heckfield’s upper and lower lakes are perfect for a quiet stroll. A walk in the pleasure grounds – whose development can be traced back to the 1820s - also provides a stunning view back across the rolling landscape South West to the House itself. Walking through the ancient heathers and woodlands, the landscape is punctuated by trees planted in the 18th century by pioneering horticulturist William Wildsmith. Within the gardens, the ivy clad outline of the old summer house, lost to nature’s steady growth, provides a reminder of the estate’s historic origins. The historic estate has found new life as a hotel, so you many need to be a registered guest to tour and shoot the grounds. (Heckfield, England)
