Staying safe

We’ve made some changes to ensure staying safe is easy for you to do and we’ve got extra signs and instructions in place. We love a good natter with you but sadly this isn’t possible right now. If you see our team out gardening, please keep your distance so they can work safely. You can still contact us via social media, email or phone.

Take your time

You'll start your visit by entering the Visitor Centre. On arrival please follow the signs, there’s no need to rush, if you have to wait to give others space we’ll still let you in. Take your time to enjoy the nature around you. We now also have a separate, well signed exit.

Facilities

Toilets, including accessible and baby changing facilities, are open near the house and visitor centre. Please ensure you take your litter home with you as it could pose a health risk to others. In line with government guidance, you're required to wear a face covering in all enclosed areas. Please bring one with you, unless exempt.

Explore all that nature has to offer this summer at Anglesey Abbey.

Family fun

Hoe Fen is great for children of all ages to have a wild adventure. Although our play area isn’t ready to open yet, there's plenty to get stuck into from den building to scavenger hunting, the possibilities are endless!

Heading home

We're open until 5.30pm every day, giving you plenty of time to enjoy your visit. To help support our teams closing down the estate safely and in a timely manner we ask you to leave promptly, the car park will be locked at 5.45pm.
