Anglesey Abbey, Gardens and Lode Mill

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.

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. Throughout April and May we are holding a Conservation Season to show how we look after Lord Fairhaven's collection.

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 - 4pm (Daily during school holidays March - October).

There are delightful walks for everyone in, and around, Anglesey Abbey. We have long walks and short walks to see the garden highlights, buggy & wheelchair friendly walks, walks for dog owners and a weekly health walk. Find out more.

A great place for families to explore and play in the wild. Spy on wildlife, build a den, tell a tale in the storytelling circle and climb to the top of our giant Lime Tree Lookout treehouse.

Lord Fairhaven amassed one of the finest collections of garden statuary in the country. You will be amazed at what you discover when you explore the gardens.
