Burton Constable Hall

Recommended by Visit England Logo
Overview
Whales, Wonders & Wildlife - there’s so much to discover inside and out. Home to the Constable family for over 700 years, Burton Constable is one of the most fascinating English country houses to survive with its historic collections. Visit the Hall’s many grand rooms crammed with fine and decorative art, furniture, country house paraphernalia and a remarkable Cabinet of Curiosities. Explore the ‘Capability' Brown parkland with its woodland and lakeside walks. Visit the historic stables to see where Billy the stable boy slept and discover the skeleton of a 60ft sea monster – the only non-fictional whale in Moby Dick. Throughout 2018 Burton Constable is taking part in Chippendale 300: a celebration of Britain’s greatest furniture maker.
