Foxley

Not open to the public. This was the estate of the most popular author on the subject of picturesque beauty: Sir Uvedale Price. Sadly, the house is ruined and the valley has been planted with conifers. Repton wrote that 'Foxley is less romantic than Downton, and therefore Mr Price is less extravagant in his ideas and more willing to allow some little sacrifice of picturesque beauty to neatness, near the house'.
