A
fine Victorian country house created by one of England’s richest
commoners, William Gibbs, who built his fortune on fertiliser.
Spiralling
turrets and pinnacles adorn the roof, ornate stone carvings and
church-like windows complete the Gothic look, giving the feel of a
mysterious, fairytale mansion. Terraced lawns give way to spacious
parkland scattered with hundreds of trees collected by the family, and a
glorious walled kitchen garden beyond.
Four generations of the
Gibbs family called Tyntesfield home, filling it with both the splendid
and the ordinary – from fine porcelain and fabulous textiles, to picnic
sets and ice skates.
Unusually for a stately home this one
displays its wears and tears and that's what makes Tyntesfield truly
unique. Come and see the progress that has been made on this
groundbreaking restoration project. The house now has a new roof, is
free of scaffolding and our new Home Farm Visitor Centre is open - try
out our new shop, Cow Barn restaurant, interactive wildlife hub and
garden shop.
The estate and gardens are open every day but the house is closed on Thursdays and Fridays.
Please note: At weekends and during busy periods access to the house is by timed ticket. Please arrive early to avoid disappointment.
