About Tyntesfield

Tyntesfield is an ornate Victorian Gothic Revival house with extensive gardens and parkland, nestled on a hillside near Bristol.

The Gibbs family transformed a small Georgian manor house into the extravagant Gothic masterpiece that visitors can see today. The house is surrounded by impressive grounds and has far reaching views across the Somerset countryside and Bristol Channel.

The beautiful formal gardens provide an array of colour and an abundance of nature. There are flower-filled terraces, extensive woodland, significant trees, an empty lake and a productive walled garden. Visitors can also explore the many less formal buildings found around the site.

About the National Trust

The National Trust is a conservation charity founded in 1895 by three people, Octavia Hill, Sir Robert Hunter and Hardwicke Rawnsley who saw the importance of the nation's heritage and open spaces, and wanted to preserve them for everyone to enjoy. This year, the charity celebrates its 125th anniversary, and these values are still at the heart of everything it does.  

To help mark this significant moment in its history, the Trust has committed to achieving carbon net zero emissions by 2030, and establishing 20 million trees to help tackle climate change, creating green corridors for people and nature near towns and cities, running a year-long campaign to connect people with nature and continuing investment in arts and heritage. 

Ensuring everyone who visits feels welcome, and more people can access its places continues to be another key aspect of the charity's work. 

Entirely independent of Government, the National Trust looks after more than 250,000 hectares of countryside, 780 miles of coastline and hundreds of special places across England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

The National Trust receives more than 26.9 million visits each year to the places it cares for that have an entry fee, and an estimated 100 million visits to the outdoor places looked after by the charity. Together with 5.9 million members and more than 65,000 volunteers, they help to support the conservation charity in its work to care for nature, beauty, history.  For everyone, for ever.
