Over 500 years of history

Calmer weather at Athelhampton today, the snow, frost, rain and wind of the last week was replaced by a dull grey sky.

Our visitors still explore the gardens, but at this time of the year the historic House is the focal point for many.

539 years after William Martyn started building Athelhampton's Tudor Great Hall it looks absolutely amazing.

Low level lighting, candles, log fire and antique furnishings it's like a step back in time (and another 16 rooms to explore).

Athelhampton is open to the public all year around.
