The Dairy, built in 1885 by Baron Ferdinand, was renovated in the early 1990s, and has been transformed again today.
History
“What a privilege and delight it would be, to celebrate a day at the Waddesdon Dairy, which encompasses so many worlds and pleasures. The fairy-tale Victorian building, perched above its own lake, looks out over water towards a landscape of rocks. There flora and exotic fauna abound in a wild setting, where ancient and modern worlds meet.” - Lady Mary Keane
