Quebec House The childhood home of General James Wolfe, whose military might and manoeuvres helped win America for the British in 1775. Travel back in time and see the house as it appeared in the 1730s when James Wolfe and his family lived here. Fall asleep on a replica 18th- century bed, or take your chances with Mrs Wolfe’s ‘cure for consumption’ in the kitchen, or enjoy a cup of tea in Mrs Wolfe’s charming 18th-century garden.

Chartwell The much-loved Churchill family home and the place from which Sir Winston
drew inspiration from 1924 until the end of his life. Rooms remain much as they were when he lived here, with pictures, books and personal mementoes evoking the career and interests of a great statesman, writer, painter and family man. Outside, the hillside gardens reflect Sir Winston’s love of the landscape and nature and include the lakes he created, the kitchen garden and the Marycot, a playhouse designed for his youngest daughter Mary.
