Stoneywell (NT)
Recommended by
Overview
Built as a summer home by Arts and Crafts architect-designer Ernest Gimson for his brother Sydney, Stoneywell zigzags from its rocky outcrop, amid rhododendrons and heather. Please note that due to the size of Stoneywell everyone, including NT members, will need to book in advance. See website for more details.
About the area
