Tyntesfield

Originally a smaller Georgian house, Tyntesfield was transformed into a Gothic Revival masterpiece. Its bespoke architecture reflects the devout Anglo-Catholic beliefs of the Gibbs family. Here they invested their wealth derived from controlling the import of Peruvian ‘guano’ fertiliser.

Now open to visitors, Tyntesfield House is richly decorated and furnished with a collection of over 72,000 objects.

Here you'll find woodlands, parklands, farmlands, an orchard, a rose garden, formal gardens and a working kitchen garden. You'll also find a variety of bats, birds, badgers, hares, moths and reptiles, who call Tyntesfield their home.

With hundreds of acres to explore, there's plenty of room to run wild, including three play areas for your little ones, including a den-building village with sticks galore for all the family.
