A national-quality gallery in a Capability Brown park
A Grade I Georgian mansion holding six permanent collections — from Neapolitan masters to British folk art — plus ambitious touring exhibitions that would not look out of place in London.
The 120 acres of Capability Brown parkland are half the point: lakeside walks, an ice house, wild‑play areas for children and deckchairs on the lawn in summer.
Host tips
✓ Grounds-only tickets are cheap if you just want the parkland
✓ The Welly Walk keeps under‑8s happy for hours
✓ Wednesday–Sunday opening — closed most Mondays/Tuesdays
