Welcome to Lydiard Park
Lydiard Park is a beautiful 260 acre 18th Century parkland on the western edge of Swindon. Originally a Medieval deer park, this country estate is the former ancestral home of the Viscounts Bolingbroke and is currently undergoing a £5 million restoration project. To date, many significant 18th Century landscape and architectural features have been restored including re-instating the lost lake, renovating the Grade II listed Coach House and restoring the castellated dam wall, ice house and returning the 18th Century ornamental fruit and flower Walled Garden to its former glory.
Open all year round, Lydiard Park includes the striking Palladian house with many of its original contents and is the setting to one of the country's most beautiful parish churches, St Mary's Church, richly packed with monuments to the St John family.
