Timeline
14:24
Arrive at Chastleton House two hours before sunset. The early 17th-century mansion is one of the finest and most complete Jacobean buildings in the land. Stroll the grounds while the afternoon light is still bright enough to see the details of the architecture.
15:54
Position yourself for the final hour. The sun is setting toward the SW. The golden light starts at 15:26, so you have plenty of time to find a quiet corner in the garden or near the house to watch the colors change.
16:24
Watch the sunset at 16:24. The light fades quickly after this moment, leaving the house in silhouette.
16:54
Check the route to find a place for dinner and a drink after dark. Most steps come after the moment, so head out once the house is closed for the evening.
Local tip
