Anglesey Abbey, located near Cambridge in the United Kingdom, is a historic property that combines a beautiful country house with stunning gardens. Originally an Augustinian priory founded in the 12th century, the site was transformed into a private residence in the early 20th century by Lord Fairhaven. Today, it is managed by the National Trust and is open to the public. Visitors can explore the richly decorated house, which boasts an impressive collection of fine art, antiques, and rare books. The estate is particularly renowned for its extensive gardens, which feature formal lawns, vibrant flower beds, and a striking collection of statuary. The winter garden is a notable highlight, offering a serene and picturesque landscape even in the colder months.
