No list can be complete without the inclusion of Wentworth Woodhouse, the largest private stately home in England and with the longest facade of any home in Europe
I can both agree and disagree. My suspicion is that as it is pretty much empty and still rather derelict it wasn't included. The same goes for Mentmore Towers. To me, the glaring omission is yet another Rothschild country house Waddesdon Manor.
Sadly last time I went to Plas Newyth it was full of modern art rubbish consisting of hundreds of paper shirts hanging in every room so you couldn’t see anything and nothing was labelled. It was a complete disgrace and sad reflection on the National Trust.
You left out Castle Howard!!! My favorite for sheer beauty and scale is Highclere. Although large, it still manages to look warm and liveable. And its countryside is gorgeous.
There is no chandelier (magnificent or not) over the dining table in Osborne House. Please look at your photos, and any others, of the dining room. Nor is there a chandelier in the Durbar Room (also used for dining). How could anyone put this list together without including Waddesdon Manor?? This gets my vote for most magnificent. Now you need to do a video on the great London city houses.
It seems many of these, and others, could use an extensive pressure washing. Since they are no longer heated by coal they can have all of that removed.
Highclere Castle is one of my favourites but love them All..To The Manor Born...Not...Unfortunately.....I realize the social problems with Victorian Britian but this time is magical for me....such style and grace.....
