Set amongst the trees on its banks is the gracious Hambleton Hall, an estate of peace and tranquillity at the very heart of rural England’s delightful Shires. Yet it is within 20 minutes of the national motorway network and intercity train services and there are three busy airports in easy reach.

Hilton London Paddington exterior

Sydney Paulden finds Hilton London Paddington a most convenient London base
