Audley End house and gardens was an interesting place to visit, with lots of interesting information about the history of the site and dynamic ways of displaying it and getting the visitor involved. The grounds retained a lot of their orignal character, with the river and landscape still the same as set out by Capability Brown. The old partere style garden is there, seasonaly planted now, which gives a snap shot into the past. Audley house is in great condition and the tour was very informative. Access to the house is only possible through booking a tour, which limits the amount of people let through which prevents over wearing. The grounds and house are well laid out and give full access and thought to the public, while holding on to the essense of the historic building.
