The area surrounding The Annexe is rich with National Trust properties waiting to be explored. The nearest, Dyrham Park, is a magnificent 17th-century mansion sitting on the western edge of the Cotswolds. Created by William Blathwayt between 1691 and 1704, the house and garden offer a glimpse into historical grandeur. The extensive 270-acre park is home to a herd of 150 fallow deer that can often be spotted resting beneath the ancient trees.
