Create an itinerary including Dyrham Park

A Baroque mansion set in a sprawling estate, Dyrham Park holds 300 years of the aristocratic life of the Blathwayt family. The estate sprawls for 110 hectares (270 acres), so take long walks along the footpaths, or ask for a guide if you want someone to show you around. Look for the herd of fallow deer foraging in the old trees. Visit the gardens, replanted every season, which always have something thriving. Inside the manor, look for fine collections of Delft ceramics and Dutch art. Check out the Victorian kitchen under the stairs to see how the servants of the family worked and lived. Plan to see Dyrham Park and other attractions that appeal to you using our Dyrham online day trip planner.

Had wonderful sunny day here. Long walks and staff friendly and helpful. Saw 2 short films on history of Dyrham. House open but renovation in progress. Gardens beautiful. Met Robin man by the Church. Well worth a visit.

Nice place of great historic interest. The only mansion with Dutch inclined design I have ever seen in the UK. I will not upload pictures as it is worth viewing life. Many people go for picnics with kids etc. Really lovely.

Lovely property and garden. Helpful volunteers. Nice walk down to the property, more of a challenge leaving it! 🙂 There are two small 'buses' for those who may struggle and I did see parents with pushchairs being allowed on too. Food was good with the usual pasties, cakes and soup available. I had a nice vegetable curry with chunky bread. The parsnip soup was a little watery unfortunately. Being a bank holiday there was a large queue going into the cafe, however everyone was polite and gave each other a nod to social distancing. Staff were positive and took our orders promptly. Hot drinks were good which is what i tend to see at the NT, better than several coffee shop chains in my opinion. No deer as they had all been culled due to a cattle disease i believe.

Just a delight! Lovely walks, interesting property and very well kept gardens. The children really enjoyed the 'Percy the Park Keeper' Trail! Just what the Doctor ordered for New Year's Day. Well done to all the volunteers and the National Trust. Will certainly visit again!

Just a magical place to visit. Delightful lime walk down to house. Beautiful gardens and flower meadow. Interesting house and church. Walk back up the drive can be a challenge!!
