The world's first walk-through butterfly house was situated in the beautifully landscaped 200 acre parklands of Syon House.
Sadly, and despite the current awareness of animal welfare and conservation, the Butterfly House closed it doors for the last time on 28th October 2007, so that the Duke of Northumberland could build a hotel complex on the land. How terribly sad.
