Spectacular Victorian country house and grounds
  • 19th-century estate for the 21st century, bringing alive the conservation process
  • Recently saved for the nation by public generosity
  • Working kitchen garden that has been brought back to life
  • Home to four generations of the Gibbs family, Tyntesfield contains everything from grand Victorian designs to 20th-century objects

What's new this year
Conservation work on the house and estate buildings, funded from the 2006-2012 Heritage Lottery Fund Project

Points to noteThe project at Tyntesfield is still in the early stages of development, but the property offers a unique insight into the work needed to conserve an estate. During 2008, visitors will have the opportunity to experience the conservation building work on the house and on other buildings around the estate. This work may, at times, result in limited access to some parts of the property. Visitors can now see all the ground-floor rooms. Facilities on-site are temporary and basic while planning is underway for new visitor facilities. Admission to the house is by timed ticket for all visitors. Tickets are issued at visitor reception on arrival and cannot be booked. Entry to the property and car park cannot be guaranteed on busy days. Tel. Infoline for details
