Arlington Court is an unexpected jewel on the edge of Exmoor, a complete family estate held by the Chichester family for over five hundred years. The collection consists of treasures for all tastes, from model ships to shells, collected over several generations. The house itself, built in 1823 and extended in 1860, has an austere facade. However, inside the cosy rooms purvey a homely, family atmosphere.
The Carriage Museum in the stables has a vehicle for every occasion from cradle to grave. There are over 20 miles of footpaths to explore, including our popular lake walk, just under two miles, which tours the man-made lake and bridge piers of an unfulfilled Victorian dream.
Discover formal Victorian gardens with a conservatory rebuilt in 2012, planted with exotic species and a walled garden providing produce for the tea-room and flowers for the house.
There is also an abundance of wildlife to discover including two species of bat roosting in the cellars, an ancient heronry and a birdhide, to view nature at its best
Access to the collection or research requests outside of our normal opening hours can be arranged by appointment only. Please call 01271 850296 or email arlingtoncourt@nationaltrust.org.uk to book.
