This legendary Ducal seat is vast yet unostentatious, possessing a quiet magic all its own. Transformed by the 1st Duke of Montagu—a man with ‘a declared taste for all things French’—Boughton is home to magnificent Baroque state rooms, formal gardens of Versailles-inspired grandeur, and the historic Montagu Monuments. Step into centuries of aristocratic history and experience ‘The English Versailles.’
