The house at Wrest Park is a 19th-century mansion in the style of a French chateau, but its grand gardens are its real glory. Together, they tell a story of 300 years of garden design – and they’re a great place for a fantastic day out.

Right in front of the house you’ll find formal gardens, the Long Water and the Archer Pavilion. Elsewhere you can explore the enchanting Bath House; the Chinese Bridge and Chinese Temple; and stroll along the intricate woodland paths of the 18th-century Great Garden.

You can also visit the unfurnished but opulently decorated state rooms inside the mansion. The spacious café within the Walled Garden offers locally sourced produce, with indoor and outdoor seating overlooking the children’s play area.

As seen on Bridgerton!
Some of the rooms of Wrest Park were featured as the home of the Fuller family in Netflix’s hit series, Bridgerton. The exterior of the house (including the gardens and orangery) were also used as a backdrop for the Bridgerton family’s country estate.
