The shell of Appuldurcombe, once the grandest house on the Isle of Wight and still an important example of English baroque Architecture: the 1701 east front has now been restored. It stands in ‘Capability’ Brown-designed grounds. An exhibition of photographs and prints depict the house and its history.You can also visit the Freemantle Gate (part of the 1770s neo-Classical addition to the estate) on the nearby public footpath, and the adjacent Falconry Centre (not under the care of English Heritage – extra charges apply).
