Britain's stately homes: ten grand country seats
Chatsworth, Blenheim, Castle Howard, Holkham — the great houses still open to the public.
Britain's stately homes are the country's grandest private architecture, kept open by their owners or by the National Trust. Most are still lived in, all have working gardens, and almost all are within an hour of a city. Pick three for a long weekend; visit ten across two weeks for the full architectural sweep from Tudor Hardwick to Edwardian Polesden Lacey.
