Anglesey Abbey, Gardens & Lode Mill	Lode, Cambridge	House, Garden & Mill
A passion for tradition and impressing guests inspired one man to transform a run-down country house and desolate landscape. At the age of 30, the future Lord Fairhaven began to create his first home. Wanting to inspire and surprise visitors, he created a spectacular garden with planting for all seasons, and a cosy house in which to entertain. Life revolved around horse racing and shooting, and guests enjoyed 1930s luxury. Inside, fine furnishings, books, paintings, silver and rare clocks give a feeling of opulence. Outside, 46 hectares (114 acres) offer vibrant colour, delicious scent, and the simple pleasures of nature.

Denny Abbey and the Farmland Museum	Waterbeach, Cambridge	Abbey
Denny Abbey has a unique and fascinating history. Founded in 1159 as a Benedictine monastery, it then became a retirement home for elderly Knights Templars. After the Templars’ suppression for alleged heresy in 1308, it became a convent of Franciscan nuns before becoming a farm from 1539 and the dissolution of the monasteries until the 1960s. All these changes are still traceable in the building: and are interpreted for visitors by graphic panels illustrated by local artist Anne Biggs. Family-friendly activities include imaginative hands-on interactives about medieval tiles, stained glass and arches. The site’s Farmland Museum features a fenman’s hut, blacksmith’s and wheelwright’s workshops, village shop display and many other aspects of Cambridgeshire rural life.
