If you’re looking for somewhere lovely to go over this weekend, then head to Waddesdon Manor. Located in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, Waddesdon Manor is around an hour and a half drive away from London making it an excellent day trip venue. The 16th century French-style château was built by Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild during the late 1870s. Filled with several works of art (portraits etc.), exceptional furniture and Sevres porcelain collection, the Manor was passed on (over the decades) from Baron Ferdinand to several members of the Rothschild family and finally bequeathed to the National Trust in late 1950s.

Famed for its shingle beach as much as it is for its traditional fish and chips, Aldeburgh is one of the most popular seaside towns in Suffolk. There is something about this delightful little town that always draws visitors back. And for those seeking fresh sea air and a comfortable retreat to rest and relax, there is no better place than the White Lion hotel which is situated on the seafront, opposite the shingle beach.
