Petworth House
(vero;2023-August-19)
Petworth House and Park are a National Trust property located in West Sussex, an easy day trip from Basingstoke. The house itself opens at 10:30 but the deer park (and the northern car park) are open from 08:00, so we came early to have a stroll through the park before visiting the house and its museum. The entrance fee to the house, the gardens and the park was 17£ for non-members when we visited in 2023, the northern car park was 3£ (free for members).

There are over 300 paintings at Petworth, including twenty by Turner, seventeen by Van Dyck, sixteen by Lely, sixteen by Reynolds, three by Blake, three by Gainsborough, six by Teniers and eight rare works by Elsheimer. We have created two galleries
