Ickworth House Park and Gardens Houses
Unusual Georgian house and landscape park. In 1795 the eccentric 4th Earl of Bristol created this equally eccentric house, with its central rotunda and curved corridors, to display his collections. Paintings by Titian, Gainsborough and Velzquez and a magnificent Georgian silver collection are on display. An Italianate garden lies to the south of the house, which is set in a 'Capability' Brown park with woodland walks, vineyard, Georgian summer house, church, canal and lake.
What's new in 2005:
Major building programme continues (house visitor route not affected). Access to areas of park & garden may be restricted from time to time. Tel. For details
Mini tours each day except Wed & Thur during open season at 12. 15: £2. 20 per person (inc. NT members). House admission extra. Booked guided tours and special openings of house for groups with particular interests. Also booked tours for groups of Italianate garden, woods, parkland and vineyard.
Baby-changing and feeding facilities. Front-carrying baby slings and hip-carrying infant seats for loan. Children's play area. All-terrain pushchair available for outdoor use. Family 'trim trail' in woods. .
