Snowshill Manor

For a peek into the life of an extraordinary man, visit this Cotswolds manor house which showcases the eclectic collection of unusual treasures gathered by owner Charles Wade—an architect, craftsman and poet. There are thousands of unique objets to wonder at, from tiny toys to Samurai armour, collected by Wade during his travels. The terraces and ponds are well-worth exploring, while the house itself is a fine example of a traditional Cotswolds home built with local stone.
