Tyntesfield Estate

This National Trust estate is the best one we have ever seen. It is so good, it is even worth the journey from up north. The Lord made his money to buy this place from importing bird poo for fertilisers for our farms.



The house isn't open Thursdays and Fridays, but the gardens are full to burst of fruit n veg. The National Trust spent millions renovating this place, including 5 million just for the heating system.



If you get the little shuttle bus down to the kitchen gardens you get a full history tour from the driver.


You can buy fruit, veg and plants and it has a big shop and cafe in the cow barns with all the original interior.


We are definitely going to come back to this one for the day.
