There's lots of signs, which is very helpful.

Even without Bluebells, it's stillbirth a visit.

Our local NT place we go here often. Morgaston woodland walks out of the back gate where you will also find a hide overlooking wetlands. Secure bike parking limited. Suggestion attach to wooden fence by reception and we will keep an eye on it but can’t be responsible. Highlight for us in this house is the chapel. Lovely lake but rebuilding work to a bridge in progress at the moment

Nice little spot to stop for a break.

National Trust property. Nice woodland walks

Like many historic buildings, The Vyne’s roof is visited by hundreds of bats. In fact, it’s been home to at least five species during our huge £5.4 million roof project, including a maternity roost of whiskered bats in the Tudor chapel roof. Bat ladders & bunkers To make sure that bats can still access the attic space in winter, our carpenters created 15 ‘bat ladders’ which were inserted into the roof. These small, V-shaped wooden tunnels sit behind the tiles and allow bats to climb through the insulation to the attic space inside. https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/the-vyne/features/how-are-bats-protected-during-the-vyne-roof-project

The Vyne is a 16th-century country house outside Sherborne St John near Basingstoke in Hampshire, England. The Vyne was built for Lord Sandys, King Henry VIII's Lord Chamberlain. The house retains its Tudor chapel, with stained glass. The classical portico on the north front was added in 1654 by Inigo Jones's pupil John Webb. In the mid-eighteenth century, The Vyne belonged to Horace Walpole's close friend John Chaloner Chute, who designed the Palladian staircase, whose magnificent apparent scale belies its actual small size. The Vyne was bequeathed by its final Chute owner, Sir Charles Chute, to the National Trust in 1956. Each year a number of concerts, plays and family events are run. The grounds contain large woodland and a wetlands nesting site populated by swans and common redshanks. There are a number of woodlands, wetland and parkland walking trails. Dogs are welcome into the grounds (on leads), in Morgaston Woods and the Organic Parklands (under direct control). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Vyne

The story begins with Speaker Chute who, in 1635 built two summerhouses in the grounds to the east of the house. The summerhouses would have likely been the focus of a 17-century garden design and were two of the first British garden buildings. The red brick buildings took the shape of a Greek cross with four doors and a central chamber. Only one of the summerhouses remains, its twin being removed by 1776. Today, the remaining summerhouse forms the focus of a formal garden with beds which reflect the shape of the summerhouse itself. The bedding plants are chosen to complement the shades of the summerhouse during the seasons and the garden is enclosed by a yew hedge. https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/the-vyne/features/brief-history-of-the-vyne-gardens
