Visiting this spring 

Our gardens, parks, cafés, shops and countryside locations are open to visit. From 17 May, we're reopening houses in England, and subject to government confirmation, we're planning to open houses in Wales from 17 May and in Northern Ireland from 24 May. 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.
