Our gardens, parks, cafés, shops and countryside locations are open. Many houses in England, Wales and Northern Ireland are now open to visit. Advance booking for visits helps us keep everyone safe and socially distanced. At quieter times such as weekdays, booking shouldn't be necessary, but to guarantee entry we recommend booking in advance, especially at weekends and bank holidays. Please check the property webpage before you visit and follow government guidance.
Take a stroll through one of our many rose gardens coming into bloom this summer. You can discover hundreds of varieties bred by gardeners many years ago and enjoy the delicate scent and colours.
Whether you’re looking for a bracing clifftop ramble, a blast of invigorating sea-infused air or a gentle stroll along the sandy dunes, there are 780 miles of coastline to discover. Soak up the different nature and wildlife you'll come across and enjoy the open space.
