“Dudmaston Hall is an historic home with a difference – it houses one of Britain’s most important collections of contemporary art, including sculptures by Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth. The house was started in the late 1600s and is made of redbrick and stone. It replaced an old manor house and is opulent in style – the hallway comes complete with a Georgian staircase, marble floor and glimmering chandelier. There is dark wood panelling and imposing paintings – just as you’d expect an old country mansion to have. This isn’t a house full of faceless history though – in the dining room you can survey Sir George Labouchere’s more modern collection of art by artists whom he regarded as friends. He was one of Dudmaston’s former owners. From the library you can enjoy views of the nine acre garden. This is a riot of colour in spring and includes a wildflower meadow and woodland walks. A particularly interesting feature are the Eternity Gates; these were commissioned by Sir George and Lady Labouchere for their ruby wedding anniversary. ”

“Brilliant information, have used several of the pubs and visited many of the properties. Some that
I didn’t
know were so close to home. Keep up the good work.”
Steve, UK
“Thanks very much for your help. Gone out and got a 1Gb card and all is now loaded. One way of rating a company is the back up support and you score 10/10 .”
Graham, London
“The content is good and the level of detail about right, enough to pique your interest but not so much
that you feel you're attending a lecture.”
Sam, Manchester
“I've used the programme a few times now on my travels and it does add a good deal of value
to a journey so I'm very happy with my purchase.”
John, UK
“The Audio commentary on the Garmin was well narrated and definitely had the feel of the audio
guides you get when you are walking around the landmarks themselves”.
Linda, New Jersey

it's suggested has been a winner.”
Nikki, Cambridgeshire'
“The heritage commentary is really informative and entertaining – it’s great to discover
the background to the brown tourist signs we normally whizz by on the motorway.”
Michael, Reading
