Very and spacious garden, the one at Burghley House that will appeal to adults the most. You just stroll along, finding a sculpture or figure here and there. You can relax by the lake, too. Rather attractive. Buy a combined ticked with the house, as Burghley is a truly spectacular and almost overwhelmingly opulent place. The tapestry exhibition was a bit over sold as they are actually banners, but it was very special to see the South not normally open to the public. were brill as always. Garden of surprises being my favourite. Good value, dog friendly with cafe, shop and toilets what more can you ask for. A sunny day - we had that, too. There was so much to see, and the loved it as much as I did!!! Beautiful sculptures and flowers! Just an amazing place through and through!! A great experience ruined by lack of accessibility. The are beautiful, and the play area for the children is excellent. The loved running through the fountains and water features in the after spending several hours running around the play area in the heat. They also took great delight in getting lost in the mirror maze. The lake is also stunning and the activity booklet for children to complete gives them something to focus on which is wonderful. The staff too were very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, the otherwise wonderful experience was let down by the sheer lack of accessibility. My friend is currently a wheelchair user after an ankle injury and called the day before our to check if the were accessible. She was assured that they were. However, the paths were far from accessible for a manual wheelchair user. You try wheeling yourself up a steep path with an uneven camber and loose, fine gravel. Children were sliding over on the gravel, let alone a manual wheelchair user. Instead of being able to independently manoeuvre around the gardens, my friend had to be assisted everywhere with great difficulty. When she tried to wheel herself, the wheelchair would slide off the path into the grass verges because of how uneven the paths were. The paths are certainly not accessible, and would benefit from being replaced with compacted pea gravel, as well as making the paths more even. The camber on the paths makes using a manual wheelchair independently almost impossible, let alone how steep certain areas were such as leading up to the children's playground. Disabled people do in fact have children. The food available at the outdoor café by the playground was also disappointing, but not as disappointing as the lack of accessibility. Great place to wander and have a picnic. The social distancing was managed very well and all felt safe. The scenery is just stunning. From the minutiae of the wildflowers to the grand sculptures, it was wonderful - will again. Fab day out for the family, especially as the new play park is open. The early guided tour for the was brilliant according to my 7 years old daughter. The food in the restaurant was excellent too. Thoroughly recommended. What a lovely place to go to. The grounds are vast and scenic for taking a walk with the or taking the dog for a walk. We went to the for Halloween which cost us £33 for 2 adults and 3 which is a reasonable amount. The got to do a few find the character hunts and codeword puzzles throughout and then play in the play area. The Halloween trail was very and made you explore the fully whilst solving the code word and for adults solving some riddles. The cafe is reasonably priced as well and offer some treats to eat. Ended up buying a yearly pass at the end for an extra £65 so we can go whenever we want for free which we will make the most of when it warms up. I took our 2 young boys (1 and 5) and they absolutely loved exploring the and sculptures. The highlight of their was the water garden, we struggled to convince them to leave. We enjoyed the so much we've bought an annual pass and plan to a lot. The most beautiful building and grounds I was absolutely blown away. You can go around these grounds for free and use the cafe. You can pay to go in the house and the if you so wish. The scenery goes on and on to the horizon, with no intrusion of urban life. There are so many ways to walk taking in every breath taking moment from the house itself to the lakes, beautiful variety of trees, wonderful aged Bridge and wild deers that you can close too. All in all it is beyond words . It's a must place to if you love exploring nature and history.
