Family need-to-knows

  • Free entry for under 5's (with a pre-booked adult)
  • Baby changing facilities in access friendly toilets
  • Choice of three walking routes with varied lengths for little legs. 
  • The paths at Tyntesfield are steep in places, and through the woods have a natural surface, so buggies with big wheels do better on the terrain.
