Intimate manor house with Arts and Crafts-style garden
We're looking forward to welcoming you back. If you're planning a visit, this article tells you everything you need to know about what's open, how to book your visit and what to expect. We've made some changes to our usual offer, to help keep everyone safe.
Lytes Cary Manor is an intimate medieval manor house with a beautiful Arts and Crafts garden where you can imagine living.
Originally the family home of Henry Lyte, where he translated the unique Niewe Herball book on herbal remedies, Lytes Cary was then lovingly restored in the 20th century by Sir Walter Jenner.
The garden rooms contain a magical collection of topiary and herbaceous borders, while tranquil walks on the estate take you along the River Cary.
To complete your visit, take a stroll among our community allotments and discover their creative and colourful designs.
