Prestwold Hall, a Grade I listed country house, has been the seat of the Packe-Drury-Lowe family for nearly 400 years since its acquisition by Sir Christopher Packe in 1649. Rebuilt in the 1760s and extensively remodelled in the 1840s by architect William Burn in a neoclassical Italianate style, the hall features grand, opulent interiors and scenic 18th-century parkland.

Interpretation boards across the site provide information about the diverse plant and animal life that has established itself in the reserve.
