Quick facts
The woodland garden covers more than 30 acres with over two miles of paths, and its rhododendron walks bloom for about six weeks in spring.
The family mausoleum, commissioned in 1761, is one of Robert Adam's finest classical buildings.
In 2026 the house and gardens are open from 27 March to 1 November, and the Walled Garden is open to all visitors for the first time.
