For a trip through the ages, see Lytes Cary Manor. The oldest part of the manor dates from the 14th century, but successive additions over the subsequent centuries have created an interesting blend of styles. Don’t miss the gardens, which were designed in 1907 in an Arts and Crafts style and feature various ‘rooms’, each reflecting a different theme. There is also a café on site.
Originally the family home of Henry Lyte, where he translated the unique Niewe Herball book on herbal remedies, Lytes Cary was then lovingly restored in the 20th century by Sir Walter Jenner.
The garden rooms contain a magical collection of topiary and herbaceous borders, while tranquil walks on the estate take you along the River Cary.
To complete your visit, take a stroll among our community allotments and discover their creative and colourful designs.
