Tyntesfield

Just 7 miles south-west of Bristol, Tyntesfield is regarded as one of the last great Victorian estates. With 106 rooms and a chapel reminiscent of Saint Chapelle in Paris, Tyntesfield reflects the family life of four generations of the Gibbs family and their servants. It also houses the largest recorded collection in the National Trust, as nothing was ever thrown away.

Lose yourself in Tyntesfield’s enchanting gardens. Discover the arboretum, planted with trees from across the globe. Wander through the formal gardens, taking in the elegant lawns and flower-filled terraces. Explore the kitchen garden, packed with glorious fruit and veg. It's surrounded by red-brick walls, glasshouses and potting sheds - so your group might just be inspired to grow their own.
