Visitors can simply turn up to Berrington Hall, there’s no need to book so whatever the weather, if you’d like to enjoy some fresh air then you can simply pop in. The mansion is open daily, with a self-led kids trail inside too. Families can also enjoy the current exhibitions in the mansion; ‘Skin Deep’ and ‘A dress fit for a King’.
Out in the parkland, the walks are pretty flat and child friendly. You can use an off-road buggy in the parkland but please be aware the woodland can sometimes get a little boggy in wet weather. There are plenty of lovely spots to stop and have a picnic, including the walled garden which is brimming with wonderful colour throughout the spring and summer months. Next to the walled garden is the natural play area where kids can climb and run and let off steam.
On the Edwardian lawn, there will be traditional games such as cricket, croquet, kite flying and badminton. After playtime, why not head around to the newly opened 'curve' of the walled garden to learn about how the Trust are restoring this special piece of history.
Boating on the lake
