Hinton Ampner - enjoy access to the House, Gardens and Parkland for free
Hinton Ampner House, Hinton Ampner, Alresford, Hampshire, SO24 0LA
This elegant country manor and tranquil garden sit so harmoniously within the landscape that one cannot exist without the other. The house was lovingly rebuilt by its last owner, Ralph Dutton, after a catastrophic fire in 1960. Enjoy the beautifully proportioned rooms which house his exquisite collection of ceramics and art, each window offering undisturbed views to the tranquil countryside beyond.
Beautifully manicured lawns lead the eye down avenues of sculptured topiary, past borders full of the heady scent of roses, to breathtaking views across the South Downs. In addition to the gardens you can enjoy acres of countryside walking, taking in those glorious views.
The café is the perfect place to relax and satisfy your taste buds during your visit. Housed in one of the oldest buildings on the Hinton estate, the café was formerly the stable block, as well as the village Social Club, making it a historic hub of activity.
