The Camellia House, Wentworth Woodhouse

Adrian Lambert

A Grade II*-listed Georgian building thought to house some of the rarest camellias in the Western world is now open to the public, having transformed from a heritage-at-risk to a tea room for all.

Sat derelict for 50 years, the Grade II*-listed Camellia House is open to the public for the first time following a successful revitalisation. Thought to house some of the rarest camellias in the Western world, the site has been transformed into a contemporary tearoom and multipurpose venue that provides a climate that protects the rare camellias.
