  • Visit Britain Awards Code of Practice 2008

Originally built as the great Tudor 'power house', The Vyne was visited by King Henry VIII on at least three occasions and was home to the Chute family for over 350 years. Dramatic improvements and changes have made The Vyne a fascinating microcosm of changing fads and fashion over 5 centuries. The house is filled with a vast indigenous collection of furniture, paintings, ornaments and objets d'art. The attractive gardens and grounds feature an ornamental lake, one of the earliest summer houses in England and woodland walks. A newly developed wetlands area with new bird hide attracts a wide diversity of wildlife.
