Witley Court

There are four main marvels at Whitley Court.  A ruined mansion, its huge manicured grounds, a rococo style chapel, and a massive, elaborately decorated fountain.

The mansion was dramatically gutted by fire sometime in the 1930's.  Today you can wander around it, guided by an audio tour, and marvel at its grandiose architecture.  The huge grounds, complete with a large pond, and rose garden, provide manicured paths for your strolling pleasure.  Attached to the remains of the mansion is a (still intact) rococo style church that used to serve the residents.  Definitely don't miss this.  We haven't seen anything like it outside of the continent!  Bring a picnic to eat on the lawn behind the manor and check out the magnificent fountain.  It's main sculpture is Perseus fighting the sea monster and it still erupts every 15 minutes by using pressurized water from a reservoir somewhere uphill.
