We've put together a slide show that highlights (15 images that change automatically) the best of British and Irish country houses and country house gardens. If you'd like to take a peek at these treasures,
click on the link below. Please note that, depending on the speed of your connection, the slide show
may take up to two minutes to load.  Please be patient -- it's worth the wait!
