The maximum size of a group for a tour is 25 people, however two tours can be arranged for groups over 25 in size. The cost of a guided tour is in addition to the admission price per person.

We can offer a lively and informative guided tour through the State Rooms of Lydiard House. The cost of a guided tour for a maximum of 25 people is £25.00 plus group admission. All tours must be booked in advance.
Coach Parking / Access
There is ample coach parking at the main car park, by the Visitor Centre – access off Hook Street (follow brown signs to Lydiard Park). However you may wish to arrange that the coach drops your group off close to the doors of Lydiard House & Church and in this instance, we would recommend using the entrance to the Park that is situated off Tregoze Way / Hay Lane.
