Shaws Corner
Home to George Bernard Shaw for over 40 years, Shaw's Corner is a 1902 Arts and Crafts house set in a quintessentially English garden. It feels like Shaw has just left the room – his clothes are still in his wardrobe and his typewriter and glasses sit on his study desk. Note: access roads are very narrow.

Don't miss
  • Discover Shaw's revolving writing hut in the garden.
  • See the 1938 Oscar for Pygmalion.
  • Enjoy a picnic in the garden or the orchard.

Making the most of your day
Open-air performances of George Bernard Shaw's plays each summer in the garden. Regular events including conservation days and family activity days
