This 12thC Augustinian priory was converted into a private house after the dissolution and still retains the spring or 'font' from which its name is derived.
The abbey contains a drawing-room decorated by Rex Whistler and Derek Hill's 20thC picture collection but the key attraction is the grounds with magnificent trees, walled gardens and national collection of old fashioned roses.
The estate includes Mottisfont village and surrounding farmland and woods. The property is owned by The National Trust. (Some rooms may not be open on certain Saturdays due to private functions).
Admission prices include a voluntary 10% donation however visitors can choose to only pay the standard rate. Prices are displayed at the property.
