Cliveden Southern Viewpoint and Wood Carvings

Highlight • Viewpoint

Wood carvings
Discover the elephant, bear and tiger wood carvings as well as the famous Cliveden snails ornately crafted by local woodcarver Nick Garnett. These wooden snails, carved using a chainsaw, depict the tiny ‘papillifera papillaris’ snail living in the Borghese Balustrade. The snails were ‘imported’ from Rome in 1896, with the 100ft (30m) marble balustrade that now runs along the top of the Parterre. Common around the Mediterranean, these snails are one of the only sightings of this species in the UK.

Cliveden Reach, River Thames

Highlight • River

Walk along the riverbank to enjoy one of the prettiest spots on the River Thames. In Chapter 12 of Three Men in a Boat (1889), Jerome K. Jerome describes Cliveden Reach as 'unbroken loveliness this is, perhaps, the sweetest stretch of all the river'. You can also take a trip on the river with one of our scheduled cruises or self-hire boats. Further information is available from the information centre in the main car park.

Spring Cottage

Highlight • Historical Site

Spring Cottage was the former home of osteopath Stephen Ward, who introduced Christine Keeler to Secretary of State for War John Profumo in 1961. The ‘Profumo Affair’ changed the course of political history when they rocked the nation with their confessions in 1963. Set on the banks of the River Thames, Spring Cottage takes its name from a spring that emerges from nearby cliffs.

View of Cliveden House and Parterre

Highlight • Viewpoint

Built on a 200ft (61m) chalk cliff with a dene or valley running below, the estate was originally named Clief-dene. We’ve owned the house and gardens since 1942, but have let the house as a hotel since the late 1980’s. There are clear views of Cliveden House and the famous Parterre from the Duke of Sutherland’s statue.
