Hughenden Manor is a notable Georgian mansion situated in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, England. This red brick mansion is a property of the National Trust and is open to the public for most of the year, specifically between the months of March and October, as well as on special occasions.

Location and Views

Hughenden Manor is strategically located on top of a hill to the west of the main road (A4128) that connects Hughenden with High Wycombe. From this vantage point, the mansion offers spectacular views of the Chiltern countryside, making it a great spot for nature lovers and photographers.

Manor House and Decor

In 1949, the Manor House was donated to the National Trust. This was made possible by the contributions of the Disraeli Society, which provided funds to adapt the house for public visits. Today, the manor is decorated to reflect how it would have looked when it was occupied by the Disraelis, providing visitors with a glimpse into the past.
