The Grade I listed Grotto

Ascot Place is an 18th-century mansion, set in 400 acres (1.6 km2) of parkland between Cranbourne, North Ascot and Winkfield in the English county of Berkshire.

It is located close to Windsor Great Park and Ascot Racecourse. The mansion itself and various statues and other structures in its garden are Grade II listed, whilst a grotto to the south of house and at west end of lake is Grade I listed.[1]

Records of Ascot Place date back to 1339, with owners including baked beans tycoon H.J. "Jack" Heinz II. In 1989 Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan brought the house for a then record sum of £18million. It has remained with the Sheikh ever since.
