Description

For a meagre sum you may have the house and grounds to enjoy for a whole day. You'll see a late 18th Century house commanding views over 500 acres of wonderful parkland.

Attingham Park was the ancestral home of the Berwick family for over 160 years.  Each generation has left its unique mark on the house which vividly recalls the England of Jane Austen.

This huge mansion is set in a magnificent deer park, artfully landscaped by the great Humphrey Repton.

Visit the newly restored icehouse and greenhouses and see restoration in action as work continues on the Nash Staircase and Lady Berwick's sitting room.

Inspiring Regency interiors
Visitors enjoy the magnificent Regency interiors that were created to reflect the delicate elegance of the time.  The collections include ambassadorial silver, Italian furniture and Grand Tour paintings collected by the 3rd Lord Berwick.

A lively and engaging visit
Costumed guides bring Attingham's colourful history to life including the story of the most corrupt election in the history of politics.  There are guided tours from 12noon (booking essential, on the day of your visit, please ask at reception).

Experience life above and below stairs
The house offers a fascinating insight in to life above and below stairs and visitors are fascinated by the kitchens, tenants parlour and servants hall.

The Repton landscape and deer park
Visitors can enjoy a number of woodland walks along the river Tern and through the Deer Park, taking in the picturesque views of the Wrekin and Shropshire Hills.  Walks range from one mile to three miles.
