Welcome to Cherryburn. In this short article, you can find out all the practical information needed to enjoy a visit to Cherryburn, including a new 3D virtual visit.

Pre-visit/virtual visit

We've created a 3D vitual tour of Cherryburn to help visitors plan a trip to Cherryburn; increasing confidence and reducing surprises. This includes the option to measure spaces - for example doorways to check accessibility for wheelchairs and walkers - and to give a sense of what to expect when moving through the property and garden. The virtual visit also brings the experience of Cherryburn to those who may not be able to visit in person.

 

Cherryburn virtual visit

Please have your membership card to hand when you arrive.

We offer a tailored outdoor introduction to the property. Last entry is at 4pm and the car park gates are locked at 5pm.

Please come dressed for the weather, with sturdy footwear.
 

Parking and accessible parking at Cherryburn

We have a small car park, free to all  visitors.  If you need to access the drop off area, please contact us before your visit at either cherryburn@nationaltrust.org.uk or 01661 843276.
 

Things to note for your visit

  • The garden is evolving and we hope you enjoy regular visits to see how it develops over time.
  • There are no animals at the moment and we are managing the paddock as a wildflower meadow, letting the flowers bloom for bees and butterflies.
