About

Discover Arlington Court, a hidden gem on the edge of Exmoor. Once the home of the Chichester family for over 500 years, it houses a fascinating collection of treasures, from model ships to seashells. Inside the house that was built in 1823 and expanded in 1860, you’ll find a cozy, welcoming atmosphere with a homely feel.

The Carriage Museum offers plenty to explore with over 40 carriages, each with its own story to tell. Discover the Formal Victorian Garden, where you’ll find a conservatory and a Walled Kitchen Garden supplying fresh produce to the tea-room.

Keep little ones entertained with a trail of things that don’t belong in the house or take part in one of the seasonal trails around the gardens and grounds.
