Family home of Winston Churchill from 1924 until his death. Excellent collections of mementoes of his career and some of his paintings . Run by National Trust .

House is worth a visit, but make time for the gardens and woodland walk too. Nice views of the house from across the lake . Steps and no prams allowed in the house so a carrier good for babies.

If you go on a walk on the other side of the estate there are some fabulous hidden playgrounds for kids, beautiful views of the wield and all hidden amongst s forest trail .
