Woodchester Mansion is an unfinished, Gothic revival mansion house located in Woodchester Park near Nympsfield in Woodchester, Gloucestershire, England. It was formerly known as Spring Park.
The Mansion was abandoned by its builders in the middle of construction, leaving behind a building that appears complete from the outside, but with floors, plaster and whole rooms missing inside. It has remained in this state since the mid-1870s.
The Mansion's creator William Leigh bought the Woodchester Park estate for £100,000, demolishing an existing house on the site, known as "Spring Park" which was home to the Ducie Family.
