Things were going so well, a stroll around and before photo taken, then the heavens opened and people needed access to the garden so no tidying could happen!
Instead, 90 minutes of indoor sorting and painting meant the time was well spent and we can come back and try the tidying for a third time!
A great place to enjoy the outdoors, mind, body and soul. Tyntesfield, just a stone’s throw away from Bristol, was not built as a bold and extravagant statement of wealth, power or politics. Its purpose was simple; to serve as a family home. Once hidden and inaccessible, the ordinary and extraordinary lives and possessions of four generations of the Gibbs family are ready for discovery. The garden and estate balance faded beauty and function with an abundance of nature; celebrated in ornate Gothic carvings that decorate the house. Flower filled terraces, an empty lake, woodland, champion trees and productive kitchen garden give further opportunities for exploration. With each season you will experience a new side to Tyntesfield as we open doors and change perspectives on this much loved family estate.
