Broadlands is an 18th-century country house located just outside the town centre.
It was designed in the Palladian style by the famous architect Capability Brown before being completed by Henry Holland in 1788.
It has had a number of illustrious occupants, including Lord Palmerston and Louis Mountbatten.
Broadlands has been the setting of two royal honeymoons, namely those of Elizabeth II and Prince Philip in 1947 and then Prince Charles and Princess Diana in 1981.
The house itself is a Grade I listed building and the surrounding gardens are Grade II listed on the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens.
Both are open to visitors on weekday afternoons in summer.
