We live close to attingham park and really enjoy our days here, so this year we put the grandchildren on,our membership. Last summer we took bike and scooter for them they so enjoyed the day. In February this year we took the grandchildren aged 4 and 6 years , a balance bike for the young one and normal bike for the elder one, they were very excited and we thought it would be good as their mommy has been poorly for the last 7 months and been in and out of hospital, the boys staying with grandparents during these times , we arrived at the entrance, a young lady approached me and asked if the boys were with me , she then said that they could not bring their bikes into the park, the rules were no bikes. As you can imagine there. Were many tears, the boys were broken hearted. We returned to the car, it took a lot of persuasion to get them to go back Iin The park, the young lady then said do they want a sticker, what was this to achieve when you have children so upset. We walked round the park. Then to our astonishment saw two children with bikes, one with a scooter. The boys couldn't understand why, the little one said doesn't that lady like us. On returning back to the entrance I approached the said lady, asked her if she would explain to the boys why some bikes can come in and some not. She then said it was because they had stabiliizers on them. She never explained this to us, and then she said o you could have brought the balance bike in. She said it was each national trust houses individual decision to let bikes in. I asked why was this not explained when I joined. She was quite rude and didn't really care . She transferred me to the duty manager, but he had the same attitude. He said it is their policy to allow bikes with stabilizers in to teach children to ride, so were do they go when they have learnt. In this day when. We are trying to get children to be active, I thought they would encourage bikes, I appreciate there would have to be an age limit. But at least let people know when they are joining . Yes we will visit attingham park again, but at the moment our grandsons don't want to come,

Dreat grounds with drifts of snowdrops throughout swathes of the woodland.Even though the house is not fully open at this time of the year (Feb) NT lay on talks in a restricted area of a few rooms which gave us a taste of the history.Really needs to be visited in better weather to appreciate the grounds

Attingham Park has so much to commend it; I've been walking and eating there for decades. Just to the East of Shrewsbury, there are wonderful safe grounds to walk in; dogs are welcome in most parts on a lead and, in areas away from the deer, it's OK to let the dog run free. Families make full use of the park especially at the weekends; weekdays are quieter.There are a couple of cafe's on site, one near the main entrance serving snacks and drinks, the other at the rear of the main house, which serves more substantial hot meals.I always come away from the park feeling brighter and uplifted; it's a real joy and highly recommended.

As a tourist visiting for a one off visit this would be ok. I have visited for many years but in the last year it has gone down hill. Changes to the dog walking policy mean less off lead time and often if you bring a dog you are frowned upon. Staff use to be friendly now the can't be bothered. Changes need to be made.

This park has a lot of gorgeous wildlife and nature, which is lovely to photograph. It's a great place to tire out your dogs, or your kids, either one! However, the cafe is a bit bland, but that's not really what you go there for, is it?

Attingham provides a number of varied walks, all mainly flat so not too taxing for the non regulars. it can get a bit busy with dog walkers, not all of whom observe the rules of the road, but the walk through the woods and deer park is well worth the effort. it pays to be a member of the NT though, to get your money's worth. oh yes and the library tea room is lovely for a special occasion afternoon tea.

It is a National Trust property but if you are a member there is no charge. This is very local to me and I really enjoy going for walks in the grounds. I find it very tranquil. Every time I go I see something different. The walled garden improvements are really coming on. And, besides all that there is the Hall to see, which is very impressive.

Love Attingham Park, such a nice walk. Short and Long walks to do, and places to stop along the way. The views are stunning, especially on a crisp morning. Great for all ages. I go time and time again being a Member of NT it's a great low cost day out with the family!

NT catering does seem to have gone downhill. Scruffy, chairs and tables strewn all over the place, cups down right dirty. People were sorting through them to find ones that didn't have old tea stains on them. Poor selection of cakes and my scone was cold, possible just defrosted, and stale. That said the snowdrops make the trip worthwhile quiet stunning.

We live close by and are National Trust members. This is a lovely estate. We went in the mansion last August and really enjoyed it. The tour guide really involved the children and made his story very interesting. The children had toy mice to find in each room which my daughter remembered today on our return visit. We did not go in the mansion today but instead enjoyed seeing the fallow deer being fed. The staff feeding them were very friendly and helpful answering our questions. We got to try the sugar beet type vegetable they were feeding the deer, which was very sweet! It was lovely seeing the deer. We then had a chance to build a den... One of the 50 things to do before you're 11 and 3/4. Despite the freezing cold wind it was a lovely afternoon. Excellent grounds; snowdrops were very pretty. The cafe was nice... Hot chocolate was delicious. My husband and children tell me the sausage rolls and chocolate cake was definitely worth the expense. Our only complaint were the toilets, smelly and one toilet did not flush!!!Overall excellent day out.
