Gardens - to wander round, dominated by so much greenery as enjoyable in winter as in summer. The Moats and mellow brickwork of the buildings never alter. All the Garden’s main features are little affected by winter.

Spring Bulbs - There's so much evergreen that you are unaware that other trees have shed their leaves until you come to the Wood. Like icing on a cake at this time, carpets of Snowdrops which in the Wood set off the boles of the bare trees. If you’re lucky you may catch the last of our favourite little bright yellow Aconites. They come in with the new year and no weather defeats them.

Walking in February is so invigorating.

The House - is one of England’s earliest brick-built houses, rising dramatically from its broad moat with an exterior that has remained largely unaltered for centuries. Step inside and you’ll find a remarkably intact Tudor layout, offering a rare and immersive glimpse into how a great house of the period was originally arranged and lived in. The main rooms are richly decorated with a fascinating variety of Gothic revival interiors dating from 1825, layered with unusual and often quirky embellishments added over the past fifty years, giving the house a character entirely its own. Highlights include evocative Tudor portraits, striking murals, and a collection of rare service rooms such as the early brewhouse, bakehouse and dairy. Adding to the intrigue are the house’s unexpected and unconventional bathrooms, making a visit to Kentwell Hall both historically important and delightfully surprising.

For young children - the Maze, Yew Castle and unexpected surprises here & there to find. Also varied I-Spy challenges.

Tearoom - relax in the Tea Garden or under cover
