There are no entertainment or catering facilities for visitors, but they can go inside the West Pavilion and enjoy unfettered access to the garden and to the 100 acre park. The main point of a visit, however, is to see the splendid architecture of the pavilions, which were built about 1630. They are recognised as having been designed by Inigo Jones, the first person to introduce from Italy the Palladian style of architecture that was to dominate building in Britain throughout the next century. Together with the Banqueting House in Whitehall and the Queen's House in Greenwich, the pavilions are among the very first Palladian buildings in Britain and is the earliest example of the Palladian country house arrangement of a central block (burnt down at Stoke Park), with curved colonnades and wings (pavilions).
We can recommend The Plough at Shutlanger (5 minutes away) as an excellent place to go before or after your visit.
