Lyddington Bede House

What a beautiful place! It was a joy and a pleasure visiting Lyddington Bede House. Although most of the building is sadly now a ruin there is more than enough of it left to be able to watch in awe at what must have been one of the grandest buildings in the county if not the country. It is a real shame that due to current restrictions the small available upstairs part of the building is not not accessible to visitors but hopefully times will change and I may be able to tour those parts on a future visit. The architecture is absolutely stunning and I'm sure would be a must see for any budding architect or historian. The building and grounds are maintained as meticulously as possible and I commend those involved. Currently, due to Covid, masks must be worn whilst inside any part of the building and only the disabled accessible toilet is available for use. There are a good group of peacocks and peahens who will certainly keep you company if you choose to have a picnic at any of the eight picnic tables available each of which can seat up to eight people and each table is completely socially distanced from the others. Good amount of parking available with a relatively short walk to the House itself. Absolutely worth a visit and I would heartily recommend it. Just remember, if it is raining or cold, dress appropriately. Keep up the good work English Heritage.

The village is stunning absolutely beautiful as is the church which you can visit. Couldn't get into Bede House as need to book on line not in person even though they had spaces.

Great building in a great village, lots of interesting history

Small But plenty to see, idea for a quick visit, lovely village.

Well worth a visit. Set in a very attractive village.
