This 16th-century mansion features stunning architecture, beautiful gardens, and a fascinating history. The hall's exterior boasts a mix of Tudor and Jacobean styles, with ornate stone carvings and grand chimneys. Inside, visitors can explore the opulently decorated rooms, including the impressive great hall with its high ceiling and large windows. The property also includes a picturesque courtyard, a walled garden, and a woodland walk with scenic views.
Benthall Hall's garden is a captivating blend of history and horticulture. Here are its key features: Terraced Garden: Dating back to the 19th century, this terraced gem was once tended by George Maw, a bulb collector and breeder. Explore meticulously maintained paths adorned with rare and exotic plant species. Rock Garden: A rugged, naturalistic rock garden adds character to the landscape. Imagine moss-covered stones, alpine plants, and hidden nooks. Rose Garden: Designed by the renowned Graham Stuart Thomas, the rose garden blooms with fragrant varieties. Stroll among the petals and let their beauty captivate you. Seasonal Beauty: From spring blossoms to autumn foliage, Benthall Hall's garden changes with the seasons. Each visit offers something new to admire. Accessibility: Gentle slopes make exploring the garden a pleasant experience. An accessible toilet is available for visitors. Whether you're a history enthusiast or a nature lover, Benthall Hall's garden invites you to wander, reflect, and appreciate its timeless beauty. Not one of the largest gardens, but well worth visiting. Following that, we went on a 2-hour circular trail to see the Iron Bridge, which is easily accessible by car and walkable if you enjoy long walks. Staff very polite.
Really lovely little place, small church and house to explore, local guides were excellent. Then a walk available around the grounds. The car park isn't huge so allow for that, and the road to the car park is a little rough, that said there was a coffee trailer which was great.
Nice little hall and church to have a walk around. The national trust staff are very friendly especially in the hall, lots of interesting facts. Nice gardens as we went in the winter it was a bit wet and not much to see in the gardens but I'm sure they are lovely in the summer. Small car park with a mobile burger type van that sells tea, coffee and a few things to eat.
Lovely setting, guides we're very friendly and informative, easy carpark, we had a nice walk around the gardens and chatted to some enthusiastic knowledgeable staff.
Only walked the grounds, and the NT routed walk through Benthall woods to Ironbridge, went for a wander around the Gorge museum, but it was lovely, coffee van on the carpark, definitely returning to visit the house itself
Although a bit pricey just going to this site on its own, it's a worthwhile visit to see how people lived in bygone days. All the staff and volunteers are very helpful and informative.
