Tips & Advice

  • Book a timed Mansion slot in advance; entry is pre-booked, and National Trust members still need a reservation despite free admission.
  • Check the staged ticket release for your visit dates; bookings close at 8am on the day, and walk-up tickets are available only if any remain.
  • For grounds-only visits after 9:30am on listed busy dates, reserve one vehicle ticket ahead; one booking covers everyone arriving in that car.
  • Mansion tickets include parking, so do not book a separate grounds-only ticket if you are also visiting the Mansion.
  • Collect the £5 trail from Visitor Reception and start between 9am and 4pm to allow enough daylight to complete the route.
