National Trust - Clandon Park

Really fascinating time to visit, following the terrible fire in 2015. You don a hardhat and put on a high-vis jacket to enter the house. The house was completely gutted and you can see right back to the brick work. Information boards show before and after images - as well as the history of the building. Go if you can - and take advantage of this unique opportunity.

It's now four year's on since Clandon Park caught fire and caused massive devastation to what was a wonderful National Trust property. Unfortunately there is not too much to view at the moment.

The National Trust have opened up the property so that the general public can see what remains of the property. They are hoping that they will be able to let the general public see the changes as they renovate Clandon Park and eventually reinstate it to it's former glory. I

This is a must see! The house was absolutely gutted on the inside a couple of years ago from a fire, which has destroyed whole floors & all internal decoration.

It is a unique opportunity to see such a property & its architectural features, whilst the MT have made it safe to visit & consider how they will restore this.

A big question is whether to fully restore to its previous grandeur or now leave it as it stands & use the opportunity to tell a new story..?

Under repair but the grounds are still available for walks. Hopefully I'll get to visit the interior one day.

An emotional experience seeing the raw interior for the first time. Remnants of the building I remember from childhood, plus a new sense of space, height and a strange beauty, like being in a cathedral. Even teenage son was impressed!

Nice enough grounds. Obviously the house is a ruin at the moment but the tour was interesting and informative. The touring staff were accommodating and interesting. The grounds are quite small but pleasant.

Beautiful gardens. The house wasn't open for tours but there are 2 long walls with interesting history as well as the placards throughout the garden.

A privilege to be able to visit this work in progress. Excellent staff and volunteers sharing the house's history in the past and going forward.
