English Heritage

A day out at Marble Hill is a real treat as this beautiful Palladian villa is set in 66 acres of outstanding riverside parkland near Richmond in West London. The Marble Hill Revived project is now complete and the house is open to explore. Visitors can discover a taste of Georgian life through the freshly conserved interiors and new interpretation.

Marble Hill was built for Henrietta Howard, Countess of Suffolk, a remarkable woman of letters and friend of some of England’s greatest writers. The house and gardens were planned by fashionable connoisseurs, including the poet Alexander Pope, and were intended as an Arcadian retreat from crowded 18th-century London. There can be few places in England that better evoke the atmosphere of Georgian fashionable life.

Explore the beautiful parkland and take in the idyllic landscape on a picnic or dog walk with family and friends. Enjoy a tasty treat from our recently refurbished café which serves a menu including soups, sandwiches and salads.
