Best time to visit
The grounds and countryside walks are the dependable part of the visit throughout the year. The farmhouse and library open only on selected days, so check the current opening information before making a special drive; the toilets follow the farmhouse opening pattern. Spring through early autumn gives the best chance of a dry walk and clearer valley views. Wear shoes with good grip, allow more time than the short distance suggests, and bring water for the rural setting.
