Ever since I was a child, I have known where all of the best secret spots can be found in the sprawling grounds of Cliveden House<\/a>.<\/strong> I know where to locate the turtle fountain on the edge of the woods, in a clearing overlooking the Thames and Buckinghamshire countryside. I know that if you run too fast between the neatly topiaried bushes on the parterre, you may skid and end up wedged in the hedge. I know that a hospital was built on the grounds in the First World War and that, if you know where to look, an eerily sad little graveyard can be found deep in the heart of Cliveden\u2019s 376 acres.<\/p>\n

But, until last week, I have never set foot in the magnificent house at the centre of the expansive National Trust land. The house has always looked like a fairy tale palace to me; in fact, it looked just like the one in a favoured edition of Cinderella I read over and over again, or like a brilliant doll\u2019s house that was to be looked at but not played with. Finally, I had been given the chance to climb inside and explore.<\/p>\n
