About Tyntesfield
Tyntesfield is a spectacular Victorian Gothic Revival house amidst eminently explorable landscaped gardens and spacious parkland.
As well as offering a wealth of attractions, Tyntesfield houses a cafe, gift shop and garden shop. Nearby there are three play areas for different age groups, as well as a den building village in the woodland.
The Kitchen Gardens are worth a look year round to see what seasonal produce they're showcasing, too. The Kitchen Garden has been providing fruit and vegetables for the Tyntesfield estate since the 1860s. Today, the majority of the produce is used in the Cow Barn restaurant, with the rest available to take home, for a donation, from their produce table.
There are also regular events and activities available for all ages, such as pop-up craft workshops, festive offerings, woodland adventures, fascinating art exhibitions, and outdoor theatre.
As a point of interest if you'd like to throw the kids for a loop, this entire grandiose estate was easily purchased by the extremely wealthy Gibbs family, who made their fortune selling bird poop. Completely true!
Victorian Gothic revival house
Tyntesfield was not intended to be an extravagant statement of wealth, power or politics. Its purpose was simple: to serve as a family home.
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.
540 acres of historic land to explore
The wider Tyntesfield estate is a diverse area, contrasting the designed landscape with wilder parts. The estate offers space for remote and tranquil walks and wildlife watching, or shaded woods for experimental den building with the family. This special place for nature can be enjoyed throughout the seasons.
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.
