Uppark is a country estate owned by the National Trust. The Hall is often called, “A giant dolls’ house, perched high on a hill …”
A favorite exhibit is the 18th-century dolls' house. The contents are incredibly well preserved, due to a lack of female children in the family, and give a rare and very detailed glimpse of family and servant life in that era.

Everything is in 1:12 scale, from the mahogany furniture in the housekeeper’s room, to the gold silk bed in the centre bedroom. This house was the inspiration for Queen Mary’s dolls’ house, at Windsor Castle.
