Decorated in lavish fashion, the rooms include paintings by Rembrandt, Rubens, Canaletto, Vermeer and Poussin. Visitors can also view sculpture by Canova, exquisite examples of Svres porcelain, and some of the finest English and French furniture in the world.

Glide around the Ball Supper Room, the setting for a host of sparkling events in the history of the palace, then take a turn outside to explore the palaces sprawling 29 acre gardens, complete with 17th century lake and thriving wildlife.
