Explore the historical grounds of Burton Constable and enjoy an idyllic country day out in the heart of the North East. Dating back to the 13^th century, the mansion is probably most famous for its Cabinet of Curiosities exhibition, where mythical mermaids, dragons and unicorns line the walls.

Once you’ve finished in the exhibition, it’s time to get the full Downton Abbey experience: a behind-the-scenes tour of the mansion’s spine-tingling cellars, Steward Room and Victorian servants’ hall. When it’s time to tuck in, the tea room is open for service, giving visitors the chance to dine like the nobility who once supped in these quarters.
