For this week’s National Trust daytrip I visited Tyntesfield, a Victorian era Gothic Revival style house, located a few miles South of Bristol.
Originally built in the 1500s as a small hunting lodge / farm house, it was in the 1800s when the Gibbs family purchased the house and expanded it in to what it is today. It isn’t designed to show of wealth – it keeps its family home feeling throughout.
I walked through picking which rooms I’d have as my bedroom, my private study, my radio studio, my library, and my ‘entertaining friends and family’ room. I particularly liked the fireplace in the billiards room.
The walled garden is also well worth a visit – a lot of what they grow there is used in the restaurant.
Have a great evening,
FH.
