Why it's Wildland
7.4The former home of Victorian artist Frederic, Lord Leighton (1830–1896), with a richly decorated Arab Hall at its heart.
Leighton House earns its place for the experience of entering an artist’s former home and encountering its distinctive Arab Hall, Victorian art and elaborate interiors. It is a compelling architectural and cultural visit, rather than a nature-led destination.
