Arlington Court & The National Trust Carriage Museum

Discover Arlington Court, a hidden gem on the edge of Exmoor.

Once the home of the Chichester family for over 500 years, it houses a fascinating collection of treasures, from model ships to seashells. Inside the house that was built in 1823 and expanded in 1860, you’ll find a cozy, welcoming atmosphere with a homely feel.

The Carriage Museum offers plenty to explore with over 40 carriages, each with its own story to tell. Take a stroll through the Formal Victorian Garden, where you’ll find a conservatory and a Walled Kitchen Garden supplying fresh produce to the tea-room.

Keep little ones entertained with seasonal trails around the gardens and grounds and family fun events throughout the year. Looking to burn of some more energy? Explore our outdoor play areas, complete with sit-on diggers, balance beams, log stack climber and a mud kitchen.
