About the real place

Mapledurham is a historic estate beside the Thames north-west of Reading. Its Elizabethan house, watermill, church and parkland form a rare group, with the river and wooded slopes creating a secluded country-house setting despite the estate's proximity to a large town.

Access is controlled by the estate and can be seasonal or event-dependent; it should not be treated like an always-open village street. When open, the buildings and landscape are best understood as one designed place. Check the estate's own programme, admission details and transport guidance before travelling.
