Coworth Park,Ascot, Surrey
England has a wealth of heritage assets and many country estates are finding new value as country clubs, resorts or educational establishments. Coworth Park was acquired by the Dorchester Group as part of their new brand of luxury resorts in the countryside. The former manor house, outlying stables buildings, and gardens have been restored to provide a venue for weddings, conferences and sporting events. The estate boasts a spa, tennis courts, a croquet pitch and two professional polo pitches which are home to the Guards Polo Club. Restoration of historic elements such as the sunken garden and lime avenue has been complemented by new elements such as the terrace and rose gardens.
