Beautiful medieval house with rich gardens and estate
Sizergh's gardens, café, shop and estate are open to local visitors. The house and secondhand bookshop reopen on Saturday 22 May. Here's what you need to know before you visit.
This imposing house stands proudly at the gateway to the Lake District and has been home to the Strickland family for more than 800 years.
There’s plenty to explore on the 1,600-acre estate, including wetland, woodland and orchards – look out for fritillary butterflies, deer and rare hawfinches. If you’d rather relax in gardens, wander through the orchards, rock garden or stumpery or stroll along the herbaceous border and fruit wall – there's something new to see in every season.

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:
If the place runs Gift Aid on Entry, we'll offer you a clear choice between the Gift Aid Admission prices and the Standard Admission prices at the admission point. It's entirely up to you which ticket you choose.
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:
| Gift Aid | Standard | |
|---|---|---|
| Amount paid by visitor | £11.00 | £10.00 |
| Tax refund from Government* | £2.75 | £0.00 |

Free entry for National Trust members. On weekdays you don't need to pre-book but at busier times like weekends and school holidays, booking is recommended to guarantee entry (including members).

1 hour: £2
2 hours: £4
4 hours: £6
All day: £8
The house reopens on Saturday 22 May. Tickets for the house cannot be prebooked, however a limited number will be available to buy on the day (£4 per person, or NT members free). Some garden areas may be subject to closure.
