National Trust - Hatchlands Park

England, United Kingdom

---

Hatchlands Park is a Georgian country house and estate in East Clandon, Surrey, just south of Guildford and about 45 minutes from central London, cared for by the National Trust.

The red‑brick house sits within around 400–430 acres of rolling parkland, woods, and lawns that remain open nearly every day of the year, making it popular for long walks, picnics, and family outings. The interiors were designed by Robert Adam in the 1700s and feature a strong nautical theme linked to its first owner, Admiral Edward Boscawen, with carved anchors, dolphins, and Neptune‑related motifs.

The house also houses the Cobbe Collection, including one of the world’s largest groupings of historic keyboard instruments from the 18th and early 19th centuries, some once played or owned by composers such as Mozart, Beethoven, and Chopin, as well as a notable portrait of William Shakespeare from the Cobbe painting collection.
