Why go

The surviving abbey architecture gives this estate a different character from a conventional country house. Follow the connection to Lord Byron through the displays, then allow time for the gardens and lake. Exploring the house and grounds together reveals both the estate’s medieval origins and its later domestic life.

What to look for

  • Medieval abbey remains form part of the estate.
  • The house was once Lord Byron’s home.
  • The grounds include gardens, a lake and parkland.

Useful to know

  • Check which house rooms are available before travelling.
  • Allow time for the grounds as well as the house.
