Tyntesfield House: a chauffeured day
A chauffeured day at Tyntesfield House. Tyntesfield began as a smaller Georgian house and was rebuilt in the Gothic Revival style by the Gibbs family, whose fortune came from the Peruvian guano trade. The house holds a large collection of Victorian art and furnishings in richly decorated rooms. The estate has flower terraces, miles of woodland paths, champion trees and a working kitchen garden. Days and times vary by season; the house publishes them on its own site.
