	Corsham Court and Bowood House, England. Travel guide & tourist information by Hostelbookers.com
		Ten miles east of Corsham, off the A342 Chippenham–Devizes road and just outside the village of Calne, Bowood House (April–Oct daily 11am–6pm; £5.90; www.bowood-estate.co.uk) was designed in the eighteenth century by the likes of Henry Keene, Charles Barry and – again – Robert Adam.
		Adam was primarily responsible for the great south front and the Orangery, and, inside the house, the library – though the present appearance of this owes more to Charles Robert Cockerell, architect of Oxford's Ashmolean Museum, who also built the Neoclassical chapel.
		But it is the magnificent grounds of Bowood that are the real draw, with rhododendron gardens, a Doric temple on the banks of its placid lake and a waterfall in the woods; there's also an adventure playground for kids, and a restaurant.
