Chateau Impney was built in 1875 by John Corbett, the Salt King, as a present to his wife,
a beautiful French governess. Corbett fell in love with her during a visit to Paris and as both had been enchanted by Versailles and the French Chateaux in the Loire Valley they decided to build their own palace in England.
It is said to have had its bricks shipped one-by-one from France and it is surrounded by acres upon acres of beautiful courtyard and greenery.
A must-visit location if you ask me. (which you might not do)
