Wallington

A family home for over 300 years, the house is full of beautiful furniture, family paintings, treasured collections and quirky curiosities. Discover them on your visit - the house is now open 7 days a week for you to enjoy.

Soak up the atmosphere of the tranquil East Wood, full of towering trees and still ponds, and discover the hidden Walled Garden, a delightful garden tucked away behind high walls at the bottom of the woodland valley.

With over 13,000 acres to explore, there's plenty of walking to enjoy on the Wallington estate. From a gentle 1 mile woodland stroll to a rugged 6 mile hike across moorland, you’ll find the perfect walk to suit all abilities.

With miles of walks through the woods, loads of places to explore and an abundance of smells, Wallington is a paradise for dogs and their two-legged friends.

Tackle some of our 50 things activities, explore the 'wild' West Wood, let off steam on the play train, storm the play fort or simply run riot on the adventure playground. There's loads to do on your visit.

Look out for two new exhibitions in the house this summer marking the 300th anniversary of the birth of local boy made good, Lancelot 'Capability' Brown.

Enjoy a leisurely coffee or a meal in our Clocktower Café, grab a cuppa or a tasty treat from our Garden kiosk or pick up an ice cream or snack in the Clocktower kiosk. Every purchase helps look after Wallington for current and future generations.

You'll find Wallington's two shops either side of the iconic clocktower, selling seasonal gifts, lovely treats and beautiful plants. Whatever you buy, you can feel good knowing that you're helping to fund vital conservation work here at Wallington.

From spotting rare species hidden in our 13,000 acre estate to joining our ranger walks there's plenty to discover at this special place.

The conservation team have been hard at work up in the Cabinet of Curiosities this spring, cleaning and checking all the weird and wonderful objects on display, to make sure they can be enjoyed by everyone for generations to come.

Volunteers help make Wallington the special place that it is. If you're interested in getting involved by lending a hand in the garden, helping with events, becoming a costumed interpreter or any of our other roles, please get in touch.

From guided tours to self-led walks, on coach welcomes and introductory talks, Wallington is the perfect destination for your group visit.
