Erddig Hall, Gardens & Country Park |
||||||||||
|
Erddig is a very special place. It is a unique family home that has captured the way of life of a bustling household community during the early years of the 20th Century.
Below stairs a fascinating collection of portraits, photographs and verses records the people who spent their lives on the estate, and tells of the Yorke family's high regard for their servants.
Upstairs the rooms contain an original collection of 18th century furniture and are filled with the accumulated treasures of a family that never threw anything away - from the rare and the beautiful to the trivial and commonplace.
Your visit starts in the estate buildings where the joiner and blacksmith worked, through the Midden Yard with saw mill and cart sheds to the Stable Yard with its tackroom, carriages and vintage cycles and cars. From there you will continue to the laundry, bakehouse and kitchen.
Erddig's walled garden is one of the most important surviving 18th century gardens in Britain. It has rare fruit trees, a canal, a pond and a National Ivy Collection.

Nearby Attractions

Bangor-on-Dee Racecourse
(4 Miles)*
There's a warm welcome at Bangor-on-Dee Races throughout the year. Set in glorious countryside beside the River Dee this perfect country course provides exciting racing with top trainers and jockeys at every meeting. |
|
Llangollen Railway
(7 Miles)*
Part of the Ruabon to Barmouth line, the Railway closed to passenger traffic in 1965, and to goods in 1968. The track and signalling were removed the following month, and for seven years the buildings and trackbed were left at the mercy of nature. |
|
Valle Crucis Abbey
(7 Miles)*
The evocative ruins of Valle Crucis lie in green fields beneath Llangollen's steep-sided mountains. In medieval times, this was a remote spot (ideal for the austere Cistercian monks, who deliberately sought out wild and lonely places). |
