Know Before You Go

  • Tickets: National Trust members visit for free, but booking is required. Non-members pay the admission fee at booking The outdoor trail costs £5.00 and includes a cuddly toy prize. Grounds-only tickets are issued per car, not per visitor.

  • For grounds-only visits after 9:30am on listed busy dates, reserve one vehicle ticket ahead; one booking covers everyone arriving in that car.
  • Mansion tickets include parking, so do not book a separate grounds-only ticket if you are also visiting the Mansion.
  • Collect the £5 trail from Visitor Reception and start between 9am and 4pm to allow enough daylight to complete the route.
