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.
