Henry Francis du Pont's house and his American decorative arts collection, wrapped in a 60-acre garden inside a thousand acres of meadow and woods. Enchanted Woods is the children's garden and is the reason a lot of families come at all.

A very large cream-coloured country house with brick chimneys and a glazed conservatory wing, surrounded by mature trees and lawn in spring.

The house from the drive. It runs to 175 rooms, which is worth knowing before you decide how long you have.
