Witley Court - Great Witley - 4.74 miles
Witley Court was once one of the most magnificent stately homes in the country. Though gutted by fire in 1938 its ruins are still spectacular, and are being lovingly restored by English heritage. The Parish Church, which is attached to the ruins, survived the fire, and so visitors can still enjoy the magnificent paintings. These have been described as the Sistine chapel of the north, and will take your breath away. The fountains, which were an integral part of the landscaped gardens, are also being restored. The largest fountain, representing Perseus and Andromeda, once shot water 120 feet upwards.
