National Trust - Tyntesfield Park and gardens — Attraction in Great Britain

On a fine march morning we decided that a trip to Tyntesfield would be a great idea! The Manor House and Gardens are around 4 miles from Bristol and are easy to find from multiple directions. The manor house and grounds are fantastic! We spoke to one of the very helpful national Trust staff about the house and found out that it lies in the heart of a 500 acre estate. The Manor House itself is spectacular and in very good condition bearing in mind how old it is. The national Trust has done an excellent job in Maintaining the building itself and by employing knowledgeable staff who are keen to give you an insight into the fantastic place. Inside the Manor House are many fascinating rooms, all of which have their own story which the staff are keen to tell you about. The decor inside each room is spectacular. To think a family lived their and enjoyed its grand statue is amazing. At the rear of the house is a church which is accessed by a stone spiral staircase from the rear courtyard. Once at the top of the steps, you can go inside the church and observe its grand design. A beautiful mosiac floor still exists in there from what I could see but had been covered with a copy vinyl floor to protect it which still gives you an idea of how grand it must be underneath. The internal decor of the church is fantastic and very well kept. Outside the Manor house amongst its 500 acres are many fine buildings which you can visit including its Gardens, green houses, a cafe with play area and an old orangery. We spent a good 5 hours looking at the house and it's grounds in detail. It really was a nice way to spend a Sunday. There are multiple places to stop for a picnic, a lovely little cafe and play area aswell and just after the entrance to the grounds, a nice national Trust shop selling potted plants of you wanted to take a part of the visit home. We noticed a little people carrier that was running up and down to the Manor house from the main entrance but we walked down through the gardens. This took 15 mins and was a lovely start to the visit! So to sum up a visit to Tyntesfield.... Excellent and well...

I recently visited the Tyntesfield National Trust Park and gardens, and I was blown away by its sheer beauty and tranquility. As an avid nature lover, this place exceeded all my expectations and provided a much-needed escape from the hustle and bustle of city life.

The park is sprawling and well-maintained, offering a variety of walking trails that cater to different fitness levels. Whether you're looking for a gentle stroll or a more challenging hike, Tyntesfield has got you covered. The stunning landscapes and picturesque views along the way will leave you in awe.

One of the highlights of my visit was exploring the gardens. From vibrant flower beds to perfectly manicured lawns, every corner of the gardens is a feast for the eyes. I particularly enjoyed the rose garden, which was in full bloom during my visit. The intoxicating fragrance and the kaleidoscope of colors were simply mesmerizing.

The staff at Tyntesfield were friendly and knowledgeable, always ready to answer any questions and offer suggestions for the best spots to explore. Their passion for conservation and the history of the estate truly shone through, making the visit even more enriching.

It's worth mentioning that the facilities at Tyntesfield are excellent. Clean and well-maintained restrooms, ample parking, and a charming little café offering delicious refreshments made my experience even more enjoyable.

If I were to nitpick, I would say that some areas of the park could use better signposting. At times, I found myself slightly confused about which path to take. However, this minor inconvenience did not overshadow the overall experience.

In conclusion, Tyntesfield National Trust Park and gardens is a hidden gem that should not be missed. Whether you're a nature enthusiast, history buff, or simply seeking a peaceful retreat, this place has something for everyone. I highly recommend visiting and immersing yourself in the beauty and serenity of...

My husband & I visited Tyntesfield National Trust for the first time in June 2022.

First impressions, WOW!! you drive down a long, treelined driveway before reaching the main carpark. It feels like you are walking on a bit of a slant, so beware if you're a little unsteady. Remember to scan your National Trust Membership card to get a free ticket.

Disabled parking is directly in front of the WELCOME building & there are plenty of spaces. No parking payment if you hold a Blue Badge, or are a National Trust Member.

The Welcome/Reception building is very spacious & the staff are really lovely.

There are 3 mobility trampers. It's best to contact them at least 48 hours before you arrive, to book a tramper.

The grounds are amazing. Wonderful for dogs. Plenty of shade & benches & seating are placed everywhere. There are a few picnic tables on the grass next to the entrance.

The house is absolutely fascinating & totally stunning.

If like myself, you have mobility problems & steps & stairs are a problem, you can still look around the ground floor of the house. There is 1 step to get into the house & I believe there is a wheelchair if needed.

If you can't get upstairs, ask to see the book, which shows pictures of the rooms upstairs.

You can take photos, but no flash photography. Do speak to the lovely National Trust women in each room, as they are very informative & they're knowledge of each room & the house & family are so interesting to listen to.

There are 2 cafes.

There is also a Shuttle Bus that can pick you up & take you to the house & back. Ask where the pick up points are.

A totally enjoyable day out. We will be visiting again soon...
