Syon Park is a fantastic stately home set in its own massive gardens. The grounds are meticulously laid out and interior designed by Robert Adam to impress and amuse the wealthiest man in Britain. So rich, in fact, that his family have managed to hold on to money and titles and the house, although open, remains privately owned.

For adults the house will delight with perhaps the most lavish interiors of any home in England, and everyone in the family will enjoy the rolling parks and the famous butterfly house. But there is no question of the highlight for children – the poisonous insect section attached to the greenhouse.
