The grounds and parkland of the beautiful Harleyford Estate have graced the banks of the river Thames for centuries. As the former home of Baronet Sir William Clayton and his heirs, the Manor has hosted many distinguished visitors. These include Emperor Napoleon III of France and former British Prime Minister Disraeli , as well as the famous author Kenneth Grahame.   The gardens, parkland and grounds are characterised by a wealth of individual features, including many specimen trees, a three-acre Walled Garden, an ice house, and a restored old Georgian Temple.
