Gloucestershire Places to Visit Historic - Woodchester Mansion

An architectural Victorian masterpiece abandoned by its builders before it could be completed. Virtually untouched by time since the mid-1870s, it offers a unique opportunity to explore a Gothic building in mid-assembly. Hidden in a secluded 400 acre landscape park. Woodland walks snake around its five man-made lakes. The Mansion and its park (park owned by National Trust) are reputed to be haunted. Tea shop. School visits welcome. See website for opening times.
