Dyrham Park

Dyrham Park has plenty for a family to see and do. The mansion is stunning and full of collections of paintings, ceramics and decorative art such as taspestries.

Your young explorers have the Old Lodge picnic and play area to run free in, plus nature trails to take part in. This area also has a straw maze, an allotment plus rustic play equipment like a tractor!

Fancy seeing what life below stairs looked like? Take a look at the Victorian kitchen and the bells passage, full of chimes and pulleys.

There is plenty to see in the gardens, including a Perry Pear Orchard, a statue of Neptune, plus the Upper and Lower Pools, which are surrounded by meandering paths and striking plants.

Little ones still full of energy? Burn some of it off walking through the historic deer park. If you pop to reception first, there are free Tracker Packs with activities for the kids to do (£5 refundable deposit required).
