Dyrham Park

Dyrham Park is a late 17th-century country house and estate in South Gloucestershire, England, managed by the National Trust. The property is noted for its baroque house, formal gardens and surrounding deer park.

The principal house was developed in the late 17th century and contains period interiors and collections of paintings. The estate features formal terraces, avenues and parkland with long views across the surrounding countryside and, on clear days, toward the Severn Estuary.

Historically the house and grounds reflect the tastes of the late Stuart period and were laid out to display both formal garden design and managed parkland for deer. The National Trust maintains the property and opens the house and gardens to the public according to its seasonal schedule.

Dyrham Park lies north of the city of Bath in southwest England, close to the village of Dyrham and accessible by local roads from Bath and surrounding towns.

• Construction period: The present house dates to the late 17th century and was substantially developed for William Blathwayt around 1692, giving it a strong baroque character.
• Visitor management: Managed by the National Trust, the estate combines a historic house, ornamental gardens and a deer park open to visitors during the Trust's opening season.
