Cobham Wood and Mausoleum
Overview
Restored 18th-century mausoleum, set in peaceful wood pasture
Absorb the atmosphere at the restored Cobham Mausoleum, designed by the 18th-century architect James Wyatt and memorably featured in the BBC's Restoration programme.
Explore the history by visiting the South Lodge Barn and see our film graphically detailing this incredible rescue story.
Then follow in the footsteps of the original owners, the Darnley family, and walk through the peaceful ancient cattle grazed woodland, once part of their extensive Cobham Hall estate, to visit the mausoleum. You can have a guided walk (subject to volunteer availability) and view the chapel and crypt on Sundays from April - September.

Admission free
What is Gift Aid?
Most of our places run the Gift Aid on Entry scheme at their admission points. Under this scheme, if you're not a member you have the choice of two entry tickets:
- Gift Aid Admission or
- Standard admission
If the place runs Gift Aid on Entry, we'll offer you the Gift Aid Admission prices. But it's entirely up to you which ticket you choose. If you want the Standard Admission instead, just let us know when you come to pay.
Gift Aid Admission includes a 10 per cent or more voluntary donation. Gift Aid Admissions let us reclaim tax on the whole amount paid* — an extra 25 per cent — potentially a very significant boost to our places' funds.
An extra £1 paid under the scheme can be worth over £3 to the National Trust as shown below: Payment of the additional percentage donation is entirely voluntary, so if you prefer to pay the standard admission please advise our reception staff at the till point.
| Gift Aid | Standard | |
|---|---|---|
| Amount paid by visitor | £11.00 | £10.00 |
| Tax refund from Government* | £2.75 | £0.00 |
| Total received by the National Trust | £13.75 | £10.00 |
*Gift Aid donations must be supported by a valid Gift Aid declaration and a Gift Aid declaration can only cover donations made by an individual for him/herself or for him/herself and members of his/her family.
