Clandon Park

Built in 1730 by the Venetian architect Giacomo Leoni, Clandon is notable for its magnificent two-storeyed Marble Hall. The house is filled with the superb collection of 18th-century furniture, porcelain, textiles and carpets acquired in the 1920s by the connoisseur Mrs David Gubbay. It also contains the Ivo Forde Meissen collection of Italian comedy figures and a series of Mortlake tapestries. The attractive gardens contain a parterre, grotto, sunken Dutch garden and a Maori meeting house with a fascinating history.

The Queen's Royal Surrey Regiment Museum is based at Clandon Park and open to visitors the same days as the house 12-5 (free entry). The museum tells the story of the two Infantry Regiments of Surrey and their connections with the county and its people.
