Cliveden (pronounced Klivd'n) is an English country house and estate in the care of the National Trust in Buckinghamshire, on the border with Berkshire. The Italianate mansion, also known as Cliveden House, crowns an outlying ridge of the Chiltern Hills close to the South Bucks villages of Burnham and Taplow. The main house sits 40 metres (130 ft) above the banks of the River Thames, and its grounds slope down to the river. Cliveden has become one of the National Trust's most popular pay-for-entry visitor attractions, hosting 524,807 visitors in 2019.
Cliveden has been the home to a Prince of Wales, two Dukes, an Earl, and finally the Viscounts Astor. As the home of Nancy Astor, wife of the 2nd Viscount Astor, Cliveden was the meeting place of the 'Cliveden Set' of the 1920s and 30s—a group of political intellectuals.
Later, during the early 1960s when it was the home of the 3rd Viscount Astor, it became the setting for key events of the notorious Profumo affair.
After the Astor family stopped living there, by the 1970s it was leased to Stanford University, which used it as an overseas campus. Today the house is leased to a company that runs it as a five-star hotel.

Built in 1892-1893, this Chicago School-style skyscraper was designed by Adler and Sullivan for the Union Trust Company, a bank. The building, a follow-up to the more famous Wainwright Building one block to the south, is considered to be a more pure expression of Louis Sullivan’s design philosophy than the Wainwright Building, though the later Guaranty Building (Buffalo, New York, 1896) is perhaps the most pure expression of Sullivan’s ideas applied to a surviving skyscraper. The building bears some similarities to the nearby Wainwright Building, but features a tan exterior, light court that is open to the front facade, and has been more heavily modified.
The building originally featured an ornate first and second floor facade with an arched entryway, rich Sullivanesque ornament, and oxeye windows, which was unfortunately removed during a modernization in 1924, and was replaced with new terra cotta cladding, rectilinear bays, and a rectilinear entrance, which were given Sullivanesque trim surrounds, but bear little resemblance to the original exterior facade. The only unmodified section of the first and second floor facade is along the west elevation, where the original elliptical oxeye window bays are intact, but this facade is simpler, with buff brick cladding and no ornament. Around the same time as the renovation of the base of the facade, a four-bay addition was built on the north side of the building along 7th Street, which bears many of the same features as the original building. Above the second floor, the original exterior is intact, with buff brick cladding and piers, a bay window in the back of the central light well, arched windows on the twelfth floor, and ornament including lion’s head gargoyles, and motifs inspired by flora on the thirteenth and fourteenth floors, which feature window bays separated by engaged columns, terminating in a heavily decorated flared cornice. Inside, the building features a lobby with a restored ceiling and stained glass skylight, as well as the original elevator doors and elevator landings with marble wall cladding.
The building was designated a St. Louis Landmark in 1971, and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. The building served as offices until the early 21st Century, with multiple alterations prior to that. Between 2015 and 2018, the building was rehabilitated to house the Hotel St. Louis, which continues to operate inside the building. Regrettably, the renovation did not include a restoration of the first and second floors of the building’s facade, but it saved the rest of the building’s historic details, and gave it a new purpose.

Nymph of the Grot these sacred springs I keep,
And to the murmur of these waters sleep;
Ah! Spare my slumbers, gently tread the cave,
And drink in silence, or in silence lave.

My first attempt at star trails. Taken at our local National Trust property, The Argory. I didn't know before i went that a wopping great floodlight was left on all night or that there would be a marquee erected on the right hand side of the building.
Volver a confiar en mis propios pasos ...Volver a confiar en el suelo que piso...
Ya una vez la tierra bajo la que caminaba confiado dejó de ser un camino seguro...
Ya veremos.

To trust again in my own steps... To trust again in the soil on that I tread...
The ground under which I was walking stopped being already once a sure way...
We will see.
Grand 16th-century country house in an ancient deer park on the banks of the River Avon, 6 km east of Stratford-upon-Avon and 9 km south of Warwick, Warwickshire, England. It has been administered by the National Trust since 1946 and is open to the public.
The Lucy family, who came to England with William the Conqueror, has owned the land since 1247. Charlecote Park was built in 1558 by Sir Thomas Lucy, and Queen Elizabeth I stayed in the room that is now the drawing room. Although the general outline of the Elizabethan house remains, nowadays it is in fact mostly Victorian. Successive generations of the Lucy family had modified Charlecote Park over the centuries, but in 1823, George Hammond Lucy inherited the house and set about recreating the house in its original style.
In the middle of the 19th century the Fairfax Baronets inherited the property when the male line of the Lucy family failed. The baronets changed their family name to Lucy to reflect the traditions of Charlecote.
The Great Hall has a barrel-vaulted ceiling made of plaster painted to look like timber and is a fine setting for the splendid collection of family portraits. Other rooms have richly coloured wallpaper, decorated plaster ceilings and wood panelling. There are magnificent pieces of furniture and fine works of art, including a contemporary painting of Queen Elizabeth I. The original two-storey Elizabethan gateway that guards the approach to the house remains unaltered.

Charlecote Park covers 185 acres (75 hectares), backing on to the Avon. Apocryphal stories recount that William Shakespeare poached deer in the park. It was landscaped by Capability Brown circa 1760.
