Burghley House Gardens & Deer Park

What a fantastic day!!! Great entertainment for children to do, the house was stunning even those we wizz round due to toddler age however great book to entertain for older children.
Love the ceiling especially the heaven and hell stair. Great cafe, great shop to browse however can be pricey for family size.
Disabled can be a struggled, however I have noticed there are wheelchair upstairs and downstairs with stairlift operate but may have to find assisted who are not far away from it. There are plenty of toilet everywhere and bin provided. Amazing to see the area tidy.
Plenty of walking round the house and inside the garden.
Best is visiting the moles adventure playground. The amount it spent on is very popular for children to play. Great way to entertain young toddler at front ending with older playground at the back joint with sculpture garden next to it.
The moles I absolutely adore even I attempted to take him home with me ❤
Great day out, worth a visit , we Def come back asap.

Beautiful residence and more beautiful gardens. The house is one of the Pride and Prejudice 2005 film location, if you're a film fan. The gardens are superb, with extensive grasslands for walking or picnics. The landscape is enriched by little rivers, fountains and sculptures. Inside the garden area, also a small 'garden of surprises' that children will love. There are two very nice cafes, the house shop and a cute garden shop, and a play ground close to the parking space (parking is for free). Tickets are both combined (house plus garden) or just for the garden (or the house). Art pass holders get a discount! Totally reccomended for a cultural day, or a "green" field day, for families, singles, couples, friends...

Beautiful Elizabethan House with bags of history. William Cecil Lord Burghley the builder of this magnificent house. Plus the principal secretary to Princess Elizabeth and later becoming Lord Treasurer.
From room to room You're in awe of the decor wall to ceiling, portraits the CECILS of Burghley. The beautiful grounds, with sculptures and flowers. Plus for the children a play adventure ground.
Didn't have time to go search for the deer but will be heading back soon to absorb the true history of this house.

What a wonderful place! The house is amazing, friendly knowledgeable staff and stunning decor. The gardens and the sculpture walk however are even better. Wanted to go back for more as soon as we left. Well worth the entrance fee

A walk in these delightful grounds is always a great pleasure - plenty of walks on the paths and small roads - great when surrounding fields are squelchy. Cafe ope . Lists of parking ev charging - no entrance fee to grounds

Stunning piece of historical land. The house puts the likes of Chatsworth house to shame.

What a place !!! Large garden complex with 30 plus water features, mirrors, water gardens and sculptures. Plenty of time needed to wander round. The house itself is lavish !! From one room to the next the wall and ceiling paintings are amazing - strange how nudity was okay in those days if you were an angel or demon !!!! You can't help but be impressed with the furnishings, the decor the sumptuousness of it all - how the other half lived !! (Actually it was probably only 2% of the population of the time !!). You certainly get value for money here. Toilets etc dotted about. Parking - no height barriers. Reasonable prices for drinks etc.
The one criticism I have - which is fairly important in my opinion - there were virtually no boards explaining the rooms, the furnishings, dates etc. I admit to often forgetting these finer details soon after a visit, but nevertheless I do read them, and do find them interesting. Guides here are well informed, but not in every room.
Well worth visiting - well signed once close by.

Burghely house is a masterpiece to see but the garden is one of the best places to spent some time with the nature. The garden is spread across a huge area so its a good walk around the place. There's a children's park with a rope bridge and it's all around a beautiful and serene place.

Burghley House and especially the annual horse trials make for an incredible day out with something for everyone.

Book in advance and pay extra for the good parking. I suggest arriving early as the traffic can be extremely busy from 9am onwards.

Position yourself at one of the early complex jumps if you want to see a lot of action. With riders retiring at different points there is risk that you will see less watching at one of the later jumps.

This is a whole day activity with plenty on offer in terms of bars and food outlets. Five stars.

What a lovely day out for all ages! Plenty of land for little ones to run and play. Lovely cafe for coffee and cake, with a more formal orangery restaurant for more substantial meals. The house is chock full of magnificent paintings, furnishings and extremely knowledgeable and friendly guides. I can highly recommend this place to visit for a day out, you could even bring a picnic! Free to park. Also, if you buy a ticket to the house it is usable for return visits for up to a year! Enjoy 😊

A favourite local place to go for on-lead dog walks. The deer are lovely to see and generally quite far away, so not too much of a worry dog wise, nor a safety concern when I've been. The cafe and little shops are nice and there is loads of parking. I find it useful for dog training purposes as it is about as civilised as it gets when it comes to other dogs and their people!

A privilege to be able to visit for free and a must do if you are local, whether you have a dog or not. Also great for families as kids can run round in enormous space. Not too bad for access as you can park near the house (sometimes a bit of surface level mud/stones as this is the country!), have a short wander around the front of the house and look over the grounds - push chair and elderly/disabled person friendly.

Took advantage of a few hours of bright sunshine between showers for a stroll around the park land. The new car park is now open. Enter from Barnack Road, which runs along the outer wall as you approach from Stamford. After what seems like a couple of miles, turn right at the rather grand gate house. Lots of space and we'll laid out. A really delightful setting. To end our walk we called into the lovely café for coffee and a wonderful slice of vegan cake.

As mentioned in my previous post about the house itself the gardens and landscapes also are just incredible, fun for ALL ages and pulls anyones big kid out of them. There is a surprise garden that remind sme a bit of forbidden corner and then the sculpture grounds with such magnificent sculptures and the landscaping itself was fab, we didn't even get to do the deer park as we where here open to closing time but was just having so much fun, so another reason to coke in the future! Also I'd like to point out that although the ticket prices are 20pound per adult for gardens and the house apparently it includes full yearly access with just that one off payment? Absolutely fabulous, an easy place to visit with lots of yearly events and you get to go for free if your a historic houses member like my partner and I! Well worth every penny! 😊

This is a fantastic place to visit and browse. The "house" is huge so there is a lot to see. There are no guided tour but all along the rooms some devices and projectors with speakers help those fond of history and arts.
The gardens are unusual, interesting and beautiful. You could easily loose yourself in there and not even realise it.
Bring your kids, invite your grandparents there is something to please everyone.

Secret Garden and sculpture Garden well worth a visit! Really enjoyed the water features! Something nice walking around outside and finding sculptures well hidden, we walked through one part thought we were cutting through some trees and found a family of bears hidden away! Could easily spend a bit of time wandering around here. Personally not fussed on the house. Looks great from the outside, and designing the house to look like a town from the distance honestly impressed me but places like this remind me of my peasantry when walking around inside!

a lovely place for a weekend walk with the family. Stunning gardens - bit pricey tickets .... but all in great places to visit. Also worth mentioning : this is the place where movie Pride and prejudice was filmed

A wonderfully relaxing day starting with tea and scones in the orangery with spectacular lavender and pond lilies followed by a leisurely look around the house where guides were helpful, informative and very welcoming.

The gardens were delightful and offered a variety of interesting features including a sculpture garden, beautiful wildflowers, mirror maze and water falls.

Parking is free so no hassle and no feelings of having to rush around. £20 for a house and garden ticket which lasts for a year so you can return as many times as you want within that period.

A great day out and by far the best stately home open to the public in the Lincolnshire area. Although we didn’t meet the residents in person the experience made us feel that they welcomed visitors into their home and valued our custom.

We will definitely be returning and recommending to family and friends.

Great place to visit! We had an opportunity to watch The Crown, Season 5 filming in Burghley House! The Garden of Surprises is brilliant place to walk, the garden with statues is also attractive and nice place. will recommend to visit!

Beautiful parkland to explore, free parking.

This place is always adorable. Nice walk and tume at table in coffeeterie. Red velvet cake.
