Dyrham Park, Manor house and garden in Dyrham and Hinton, England.
Description
Dyrham Park is a country estate in southern England, built around a baroque manor that stands at the edge of a valley with woodland and open pastures. The grounds cover hundreds of acres with formal terraced gardens near the house and wilder parkland stretching toward the hills.
History
William Blathwayt built the estate in the late 17th century after marrying a wealthy heiress and serving in government under William III. The architecture reflects Dutch influences popular at the English court during that period.
Culture
The interior displays significant collections of 17th-century Dutch art, furniture, and decorative pieces, alongside 18th-century Gillow and Linnell crafted furnishings.
Practical
The National Trust manages the estate and opens it from February through December, with some weekdays closed during spring and autumn. Visitors can tour the interior rooms and walk the extensive grounds, which are suitable for longer strolls.
Did you know?
Two fishponds from Elizabethan times remain in the formal gardens and were restored in the 1980s. The interior rooms preserve Dutch paintings and furniture from the 17th century that Blathwayt collected during his career.
