Kentwell Hall

Step into the past

Kentwell hall

Kentwell Hall and grounds are unusual. A Tudor manor house, it is surrounded by a moat, extensive gardens and parkland totalling around 30 acres.

Living history was pioneered here, and groups of re-enactors frequently take over the estate turning it back to Tudor times providing the opportunity to talk to Tudor farmers and villagers, gardeners kitchen staff, ladies & gentlemen and possibly try out your skills with the militia. Check out their website for details of the various re-enactment days.

At other time, the house and grounds provide an opportunity to quietly explore the various buildings and stroll round the gardens.

Cafe and small shop on site.
