Markshall Estate - Peldon

We enjoyed a festive afternoon tea with our daughter and her boyfriend, then a walk around the gardens/estate. The weather wasn't that kind, and the walled garden was closed for winter maintenance until April 23, but it was still a glorious walk with several different areas to explore. I'm looking forward to seeing what it looks like in spring summer and autumn. The food was also very good, plentiful and tasty.

Stunning venue with some beautiful surroundings. This venue has so much to offer including an outdoor area which you can get married at. The staff are really friendly and approachable, keeping the day running smoothly and yet relaxed.

We had a lovely day on Markshall Estate it was a nice sunny day which was an added bonus for us. Arrived around 10am and bought tickets at the gate. They are £8 per adult. There were no queues so we just walked right in. Grounds were well kept, and the sculpture trail was a nice addition for this summer. There were a lot of nice picnic spots benches dotted around the estate. We found Volunteers at different points on our walk, they were all nice friendly amd happy to have a chat. We had lunch at the on site cafe, they had a wide range of hot and cold food with fairly decent prices. Cakes looked amazing. Would definitely recommend a visit.

A visit to Marks Hall Estate is a refreshing experience for nature lovers. The gardens are meticulously maintained, and the woodlands provide a tranquil backdrop for a leisurely walk. Don't miss the opportunity to feed the fish in the pond. I highly recommend grabbing some fish food from the on site shop it adds a delightful touch to the visit. Overall, it's a great way to spend a day and reconnect with nature. Lots of parking onsite, there is a cafe selling food, cakes, snacks and drinks. Once you are on the garden side there is a little playground for children with benches around if you wanted to stop for a picnic. There are also picnic benches by the cafe at the entrance. There is a small onsite shop too where you buy your entrance tickets. There are a few toys and cuddly animals and an outdoor plant centre selling plants. You can pick up a map of walking routes and rough times from the shop and there is normally an activity sheet for children with things to tick off and look out for on their walk.

A lovely place to visit . With its fantastic , interesting gardens and grounds to explore. Dogs and children are welcome. Activities all year round. It's a must ...
