Basildon Park and Claydon in series three of Bridgerton
Season three of Bridgerton drops on Netflix this month. Why not tune in and see if you can spot Basildon Park and Claydon taking their turn in the spotlight? Bridgerton follows the trials and tribulations of eight close-knit siblings as they navigate Regency-era London’s competitive marriage market and shows a glamorous version of how our places might have looked in their heyday.

Reflecting the national scale and importance of the Trust’s many properties and the passionate staff and volunteers who help care for them, the series reveals new and compelling stories about the work going on behind the scenes to conserve these incredible properties and objects for us all.
