A country house and garden outing beyond Henley / NEAR HENLEY-ON-THAMES

Greys Court

Give the house and its garden rooms an unhurried half-day rather than treating Greys Court as a quick stop on the town walk. The interior has the scale and traces of a family home, while the gardens invite you to choose a corner and linger. It makes a contrasting countryside visit for people spending longer around Henley.

Before you go

The house and gardens can have different opening arrangements. Check both before choosing your arrival time, and arrange the journey out to Rotherfield Greys separately from the town-centre route.

The practical details

Where to find it: Rotherfield Greys, near Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire RG9 4PG
Directions and arrival information ↗
Tickets and booking: Check current admission, membership eligibility and separate house/garden opening. Paid admission normally applies to non-members. This is not a free town park and is not within the central Henley walking circuit.
Access and getting around: The National Trust describes the grounds as partly accessible and lists accessible facilities. Upper-floor access needs advance discussion and arrangements; consult the access statement for the exact route, equipment and notice required.
Official access information ↗
Visiting with children: Combine a short indoor look with the garden or play area rather than expecting children to spend the whole visit in rooms. Paths and outdoor conditions affect the day, even when the house is open.

Practical information checked 15 September 2026. Confirm anything essential to your visit with the venue.

Make it part of your day
