Built in the 1750s for Admiral Boscawen, hero of the Battle of Louisburg, and set in a beautiful Repton park offering a variety of park and woodland walks, Hatchlands contains splendid interiors by Robert Adam, decorated in appropriately nautical style. It houses the Cobbe Collection, the world’s largest group of keyboard instruments associated with famous composers such as Purcell, J. C. Bach, Chopin, Mahler and Elgar, as well as with Marie Antoinette. There is also a small garden by Gertrude Jekyll, flowering from late May to early July.
