About this place
Compiled from the listed sources below — not a first-hand account.
Stratfield Saye House, the country seat of the Dukes of Wellington since 1817, sits between Basingstoke and Reading in north Hampshire. Its grounds hold a celebrated giant sequoia (Wellingtonia) named one of Britain's 50 Great British Trees, together with older Wellingtonias and a younger avenue of them greeting visitors at the house entrance. Access is limited: the estate opens only on a handful of dates each year, with paid admission, so check before travelling.
