This was another National Trust property we had wanted to visit for many years and at last we were able to do so.it did not disappoint, in fact it exceeded our expectations. In a sheltered valley location the half timbered and moated house has been subject to a £10 million restoration and it is in a perfect state for future generations. A great part of the house is open and pleasant, helpful and knowledgeable volunteers are available in most rooms to inform visitors and answer questions. A beautiful and historic house which is well worth visiting.

A lovely point of interest to stop off on a country walk or if visiting Ightam Mote nearby. This is a very small, gem of a site- if you are looking for tea rooms and coffee shops then you will be disappointed. Nice story and some nicely curated local history pieces. The whole place is very peaceful and very genuine

Down a small pathway off the high street you will find the Chiding Stone, said to have gained its name from the practice of visiting preachers, to chide the locals for their sinful ways.
