Immerse yourself in a remarkable range of world-class paintings, from Stubbs and Hogarth to Bosch and El Greco, see the porcelain and take a stroll in the gardens. Discover Upton House and Gardens, the country house high on the Warwickshire hill, where 2nd Viscount Bearsted, Walter Samuel, created one of the finest art collections in twentieth-century England. See how Lord Bearsted furnished every spare inch with his pictures and eighteenth-century English and French porcelain. Please note - Upton houses an important collection of art and porcelain and it isn't possible to have all items on display permanently. To find out if a particular room or work is currently on display, on loan or in storage please contact us before travelling. Outdoors you can stroll through Lady Bearsted’s gardens, designed by the pioneering Kitty Lloyd Jones, and find your own sense of leisure, peace and beauty that we continue to nurture. Following the challenges during the various lockdowns the gardens are not currently at their formal best and will take 3 - 4 years to fully recover. The spectacular views, the peace and quiet and the teeming wildlife are still very much in evidence. General information...
