Who would have thought that such a place spawned such a scandal that it brought down the Macmillan government in the early 1960s? Where osteopath Stephen Ward introduced Christine Keeler and the late Mandy Rice Davies of 'he wouldn't he'fame to the War Minister. Deference has now declined although the splendour of Cliveden lives on as a hotel, although the grounds belong to the National Trust. In the frosty, misty morn of early January the silent buildings retain their grandeur as the runners assemble for the annual 10k race. Bedecked in their new colourful kit they contrast with the muted greys of the buildings.
