Barrington Court

Barrington Court is a beautifully restored Tudor mansion, full of mystery and atmosphere, and set in the glorious Somerset countryside.

The warm summer sunshine brings the garden to life with borders full of colour and scents, vegetables growing large and fruit ripening on the trees.

There are lots of things for everyone to do here during the summer, whether you’re having a day out from home or are staying nearby on holiday.

We have a handy map showing the permitted dog walking route around the estate, so you can plan your visit in advance. You can also pick up a printed copy from our visitor reception team when you arrive.

This is the story of Colonel Lyle's restoration of Barrington Court, which had fallen into terrible disrepair and was eventually reduced to being used as a farmhouse.

Strode dining and tearooms offer coffee, homemade cakes and fresh meals made with delicious produce from the kitchen garden here at Barrington.

Our well-stocked shop is a treasure trove of seasonal gifts and quality products inspired by our special places. Better still, every penny spent here is invested into the charity, helping us to continue caring for Barrington.

Barrington's book barn has a great selection of quality second-hand books covering all topics and tastes.

It takes a lot of work to care for Barrington, but what is the purpose of conservation at this special place, which doesn’t have a traditional furniture collection?

A new project is underway at Barrington Court to extend and improve the visitor parking facilities.
