National Trust - Erddig

Erddig is an amazing place full of wildlife. In Easter they have an amazing Easter egg hunt that makes you trail all around the property. There are many places where you can sit and have your lunch. If you have children there is an amazing play area full of things to climb on. At the heart of the play area there is a rope swing. This rope swing can go high and is fun as you feel the wind through your hair. It is very safe. I hope you like waiting because there is a very long line. Worth it though! On your way to the car park you can see fields of grass. And tons of trees. I 💯 recommend as it is fun for all!

A brilliant day out. My family went along during the Easter period and the kids loved the Easter egg hunt and the chocolate egg they got at the end.

The staff were all very friendly and knowledgeable about the house and its history. We spoke to one man who used to fish in the pond as a boy before the Trust took it over.

Would definitely recommend a visit for the day. I would say that young kids might not be as entertained unless there is an event (such as the Easter egg hunt) going on at the time.

Visited in August 2019, on the first day of my Wales holiday. Lovely National Trust house with the usual style, nice collection of arts, and the estate is very pretty. I had a lovely weather to enjoy and especially liked to walk around the garden and ground. It can be a good day out for everyone. Usual facilities are available, such as tea-room, shop, toilets, cafe.

Had a fabulous welcome from an assistant named Oliver on arrival. Thoroughly enjoyed walking our dog through the woods - currently thronged with wild garlic and bluebells, followed by a peaceful stroll along the stream through the French Meadow. The formal gardens are spectacular with vibrant tulips, and there is blossom aplenty on the fruit trees. Beautiful!

A fabulous insight into the lives of the residents and staff at this stately home.

The displays about the employees of the estate looked interesting but are located in dimly lit areas and appear to be in a deteriorated condition, these would definitely benefit from an update.

Gardens,grounds and woodlands were lovely during our spring visit.

One of the best trust properties I have visited.
The house is spectacular and is so original. When you look at pictures from over 100 years ago the rooms have barely changed.
Woodland walks are beautiful and lots of different options for those wanting a gentle stroll are a longer ramble.
Gardens are beautiful and well kept.
Highly recommend and last of all the staff were friendly and very knowledgeable.

Was a lovely place to visit, went on a bankholiday weekend so some of the rooms we didn't see due to staffing. But overall house was very interesting. The grounds were great plenty of places to have a picnic or sit and people watch. 3 good walks to do which don't cost you anything to do on outskirts of the property. Is a cafe and upstairs restaurant, gift shop.

Erdigg was left to the National trust in 1973 by Philip Yorke the last owner who never had an heir his family had lived there for centuries, nothing is allowed to leave Erdigg & nothing can be brought in, it's just how it was when the Yorke family lived there . The garden is grade 1 listed, only the area were the servants worked & lived was open in November, wonderful collection of old cars/motorcycles/carriages in the out buildings .take a walk to the cup & saucer through the woods past the motte & bailey castle. Beautiful house/gardens/ collection. I will definitely be back Easter to see the rest of the house. Highly recommended, one of the best National trust properties I have visited. Tea rooms/ shop/ 2nd hand books . In the servants area photos/ portraits of past servants who worked at Erdigg.
