Julie and Luke, Viscountess and Viscount Hinchingbrooke, welcome you backstage at Britain’s Finest Manor* to share the joys and challenges of life on a 21st century English country estate.

We are incredibly lucky to live in such beautiful and historic surroundings. But maintaining a large country house is no picnic – even for the family that invented the sandwich. Everything needs constant repair – we’re always running around trying to plug the leaks!

So please help support this important part of England’s heritage and join our journey of restoration and discovery, with weekly episodes, behind-the-scenes content and special events.
