Welcome to Stately Homes

The plain exterior of this house, built in neo-classical style in 1822, does little to prepare the visitor for the astonishing rooms inside. Full of collections for every taste, many of them amassed by the eccentric and widely travelled Miss Rosalie Chichester, they include displays of model ships, costume, pewter, shells and other fascinating objects.

The Trust’s large collection of horse-drawn carriages is housed in the stables and there are carriage rides in the grounds, starting at the house. Walks lead through attractive gardens into extensive parkland grazed by Shetland ponies and Jacob sheep.

Arlington’s grounds include a formal Victorian garden, a restored walled kitchen garden and acres of informal gardens featuring spectacular spring bulbs and rhododendrons.
