Ham House is a 17th-century house sits on the banks of the River Thames in Richmond. Ham House is internationally recognised for its superb collection of paintings, furniture and textiles, largely brought together 400 years ago. The house is reputed to be one of the most haunted in Britain. Some visitors have reported the ghostly aroma of the sweet Virginia pipe tobacco that the Duke (who lived at Ham) smoked after meals in the dining room.  

Outside, the open and formal restored 17th-century gardens surround the house. It includes a productive kitchen garden containing many heritage crops, the maze-like ‘Wilderness’, complete with summerhouses, and many beautiful spots perfect for a picnic.
