You’d be hard pressed to find someone in London who hasn’t binged The Gentleman by now. Remember the handsome pile owned by the Horniman family and the sprawling estate, on which the Glass clan’s were running their clandestine activities, and where Geoff Secombe (Vinnie Jones) turned a blind eye in his keeper’s cottage? That’s Badminton House, owned by the Duke and Duchess of Beaufort. Their daughter, Lady Bella Somerset grew up in this beautiful part of Gloucestershire and the house’s ornate rooms and rolling parklane, which she now uses as part of her Somercecil wellness retreats (when she’s not leading groups on mindfulness treks through the Himalayas).
