Visit to Hinton Ampner, Sunday 23rd October 2011

Following the Almack’s Ball, we are delighted to offer the opportunity of a special visit to Hinton Ampner, near Winchester, a nearby historic property managed by the National Trust.

The vision of one man, Hinton Ampner is best known for its magnificent garden with stunning views to the south. The elegant country house was remodelled by Ralph Dutton, the 8th and last Lord Sherborne in 1960 after a devastating fire, and contains his fine collection of Georgian and Regency furniture, Italian pictures and objets d'art.

The gardens are widely acknowledged as a masterpiece of 20th-century design, mixing formal and informal planting, providing year-round interest.
