Anglesey Abbey, Gardens and Lode Mill

Lord Fairhaven bought Anglesey Abbey in 1926 and gifted it to the National Trust upon his death in 1966. Immerse yourself in his luxurious lifestyle as you step inside the House packed with antiques, paintings, silverware and clocks.

There's always something to see at Anglesey Abbey whatever the season. From the vibrant colours, textures and scents of the Winter Garden, carpets of Snowdrops in spring, the Herbaceous Border and Rose Garden in summer, Dahlias in late summer and amazing colours in autumn.

The origins of Lode Mill can be traced back to the Domesday Book of 1086. Step inside the historic watermill and discover how grain is transformed into wholesome flour. Open Tuesday - Sunday, 10.30am - 3:30pm (Daily during school holidays March - October).

Next time you enjoy a cuppa at Anglesey Abbey it will be made using energy harvested from our new solar panels. In fact we generate enough electricity to make two million cups of tea a year!

The National Trust has an ambitious target to source 50% of our energy needs from renewable sources by 2020. At Anglesey Abbey we've already installed solar panels on the visitor centre, and now were planning to install a water source heat pump to heat the house and our offices in the cottage next door.
