Darnley Mausoleum is a Grade 1 listed building located in the middle of Cobham Woods. Originally designed by James Wyatt for the 4th Earl of Darnley of Cobham Hall in 1783, it was never consecrated and so never used as a mausoleum. The architecture is classically inspired (the Earl may have wanted to replicate Roman/Greek temples seen on his travels across Europe) but has a unique pyramid roof. The building was heavily vandalised (including a stack of tyres placed inside and set alight) but later restored with the help of a lottery grant and was transferred to the National Trust in 2013 which now runs open days. It once featured on the TV show 'Restoration'.

There are great walks though the very, very old woodland here (beware roaming cattle in woods if you have a dog).
