House, Estate Tours & Walks

Tours of the house and surrounding grounds can be arranged for groups of 15 plus. Our garden is most colourful with its Rhododendrons and Azaleas at their very best around mid May to mid June. Learn about Dobson the renowned North East architect who designed and built the house for my ancestor Isaac Cookson or indeed Lutyens who made additions to the interior of the house later on. Experience a more in-depth trip with a look behind the scenes and a wider tour including the Estate and its other properties of interest.

We are delighted to offer the opportunity for 'tailor made' tours for Schools. Whether it is seeing first hand how the countryside works, seeing wild life in its natural habitat, foraging for food or witnessing the different seasons at work year round i.e. lambing and harvest.
