We had a beautiful sunny afternoon for our self-drive visit to Chavenage in June. This family home, a Grace 1 listed building, can be found close to Tetbury, off the beaten track, with a view to the Marlborough Downs which is completely pylon and building free - the same view as 500 years ago!
Our hosts greeted us warmly and we received a knowledgeable and very amusing talk on the history of the house and family before we were guided around the rooms - the anecdotes flowed throughout!
