A stately experience at Weston Park

Explore the rooms where famous princes, princesses and presidents have slept and dined, check out the secret door in the library and see where the cooks, footmen and maids have gone about their daily chores.

Kids can run wild on foot or by bike in 1,000 acres of Capability Brown parkland with formal gardens, woodland walks, an adventure playground and miniature railway. Or you can join scavenger hunts, clay modelling, pond dipping and plant detecting workshops.

Continuing your heritage day, head for a night at The Library House in the heart of the Gorge, just 60 metres from the bridge itself. This five-star guesthouse was once the old village library dating back to the time of the Industrial Revolution. The original library shelves have been retained in the guest lounge and are still filled with books.

Weston Park Gardens are now reopen following the COVID-19 lockdown - please check the website below for booking information and restrictions before travelling.
