There is little that can compare with the well preserved classicism of Ston Easton Park. A Grade I listed building of 1740, within a classical landscape created by the great 18th Century landscape gardener, Humphry Repton, Ston Easton Park was once the home of the Hippisley family, whose family crest still adorns the ornate ceiling of the Saloon, the house has been very sensitively restored since the 1960s, most notably by the distinguished former editor of The Times, William Rees-Mogg.
Lawns slope down to the river and the gardens contain a host of interesting historic features.
