    Sizergh Castle and Garden
    Sizergh, near Kendal, Cumbria LA8 8AE
    Telephone: 015395 60951
    House  Garden  Park  Countryside  Prehistory  Pub  Holiday cottage  1950 
    This imposing house, at the gateway to the Lake District, stands proud in a rich and beautiful garden, which includes a pond, lake, national collection of hardy ferns and a superb limestone rock garden. Still lived in by the Strickland family, Sizergh has many tales to tell and certainly feels lived in, with centuries-old portraits and fine furniture sitting alongside modern family photographs. The exceptional wood panelling culminates in the Inlaid Chamber, returned here in 1999 from the Victoria & Albert Museum. The 647-hectare (1,600-acre) estate includes limestone pasture, orchards and ancient, semi-natural woodland

    Don't miss
    • Admire some of England's finest Elizabethan wood carving and panelling.
    • Relax in the National Trust's largest limestone rock garden.
    • See the kitchen garden, orchard and herbaceous border.

    Making the most of your day
    Varied programme of events throughout the year, including open-air theatre, adult workshops and guided walks. Explore the estate with a walks leaflet. Garden trail and house quizzes for children. Dogs in the car park and on public footpaths only
