Our summer trip this year was to Waddesdon Manor in the Aylesbury Vale in Buckinghamshire. As well as exploring the Victorian ‘chateau’ and gardens, owned by the Rothschild family for four generations, we were also lucky enough to be shown around the Flint House, designed by Skene Catling De La Pena, winner of the RIBA house of the year 2015 and Windmill Hill by Stephen Marshall Architects.
