A glorious Gothic Revival extravaganza
A glorious Gothic Revival extravaganza
Tyntesfield, a glorious Gothic revival extravaganza, is a magical place bristling with towers and turrets, created by four generations of the Gibbs family. Saved for the nation in 2002 with a dramatic fundraising campaign and extensively restored since 2009, the scaffolding wraps have now come off to reveal a magnificent family home. Now run by the National Trust, surrounded by acres of gardens and parkland, and containing a collection of over 50,000 objects - it offers something for everyone.
