Various walks to be enjoyed in woodlands and by the Lake. Great children s adventure playground built around the trees. The ruins of the Court and grounds including the fountains allow your mind to wander and think what it would be like if still a thriving house.

We visited on a beautiful October day and were so pleased that we made the journey. The gardens are lovely and must be spectacular when the rhodedendrons are in flower. The house is wonderful and, one advantage of the fire that devastated the place is that you can see through the layers of what was obviously a beautiful place. My tip is to buy the guide book and see the pictures that they have of the intact property and then let your imagination fill in the details.Do visit the adjoining church and treat yourselves to lunch/cakes in the wonderful garden tea rooms just down the lane. neither of the latter are English Heritage but there is no charge for the church and the tea rooms are very good value and high quality.My compliments to the EH staff who were wonderfully welcoming.

This is just a shell of a stately home that was burnt down in the 1930's. There is a pretty lake and a play area.

What a wonderful place to visit. We weren't expecting much but we were very wrong. An astounding building and amazing grounds. I could quite happily stay here all day. It is an English heritage site and well worth a whole days visit. They turn on the fountain every hour and it is spectacular. There is plenty for all to do here. They cater for every one and dogs are allowed on leads. Would highly recommend you visit this site. You won't be disappointed. The staff were very friendly and helpful. You also can have a recorded guide which is a must if you want to know this buildings past.There is a cafe up near the churh but not part of the English heritage site.

The grandeur of the skeleton building is amazing and the grounds are lovely to wander through.The fountain is most impressive when fired up!

We loved everything...A building and gardens steeped in history, Lots to read about too and audio if required. Well worth popping into the Church too, A little bit of a suprize it is beautiful.could have had the coffee shop open on such a warm day although Hot and cold drinks were available from the gate house.

A great place for the whole family, interesting history, large open gardens with impressive restored fountains,

Great day out. Have been going there for decades but now there are audio tours, a visitor centre and a car park. Really nice day out. Go to the church next door for a history of the place and next door to that is a lovely English Tea Shop where you can sit in the gardens surrounded by birds in the summer. We have a family day out here every year.

Must do this again early summertime as we missed a lot of the gardens beauty and the fabulous water features .What a magnificent house & a credit to the architect, the building's walls were made to last with massive lintels for the ceiling's ,2 to 3 foot thick walls ,everything was done to last until the great fire that devastated the place ,take a look from the fountain to imagine how splendid it was. We visited the church and the crypt ,had a snack at the tea room ,and then a long walk around the lake and gardens.Hope the English Heritage keep up the good work preserving the place.
