About this property Tyntesfield, a glorious Victorian extravaganza, is a magical place, bristling with towers and turrets, created by four generations of the Gibbs family. Saved for the nation in 2002, with a dramatic fundraising campaign, Tyntesfield provides a unique opportunity to experience the work needed to conserve and restore a country estate. After six years of fundraising and planning while opening to 350,000 visitors, the essential work to re-roof, re-wire and re-plumb the house and chapel is now starting. During this conservation in action project, visitors will be treated to a fascinating insight into the technology of Tyntesfield and discover, with our Room Interpreters, how each generation of the Gibbs family influenced its architecture and collections. To find out more about the conservation project, visit the interactive exhibition in the beautiful stables. Make sure you take the opportunity to relax in the formal terraced gardens, then stroll through rolling parkland to the wonderful walled kitchen garden, where produce is available to visitors. Be amazed at the arboretum and track down the eight champion trees, before enjoying one of the new estate walks with stunning views of the Land Yeo valley.
