Join me as I explore the Victorian gothic revival country house and estate at Tyntesfield in Somerset, England. This is a beautiful example of gothic revival architecture here in England. Also to be seen are the impressive kitchen gardens and stables.

Another gem. It must have been odd for Richard to be rattling around in these buildings on his own, but he kept the family legacy intact so that, with some ongoing renovations, it shows very well today.

It does indeed. It's a shame it's a bit dark in the house in places but I suppose they're trying to conserve the original carpets and such-like. Gorgeous place though. All the best, Adam :)

Thank you for another thorough, informative, well made and entertaining tour. Quite the house, calling it highly decorated is almost an understatement! I love the intricacies of Gothic and it's amazing to think of what it took to construct this. The Great Hall is truly great, soaring up to the light at the top. The greenhouses are enormous. Hard to imagine that a fortune made from guano created and supported this whole complex. Again, you're so fortunate to be able to visit and explore so many spectacular places. Thanks again.

What an extremely well filmed and informative video. Thank you so much. I remember reading when this house was discovered and the thousands of contents packed in all the drawers and cupboards, untouched for many decades. It was a sensation at the time. I’ve always wanted to visit it and now you have whetted my appetite. Bless you.

Another super visit! What an ornate house, it’s like something out of a fairy tale! He must have been extremely rich as the estate is huge, and such diverse buildings in the grounds. I loved the Vicar’s house. And the stables were magnificent. What must it have been like when the local hunt met there. I bet that cage outside was for the dogs he kept. Thank you so much for taking us with you again….its SO enjoyable. And your commentary is smashing. 💕😘💐

Thanks again! And good shout on the big cage outside, you could well be right with that. Thanks for watching and for your lovely comments. Adam 🙂

Wow, lovely. It is a pity they can't fit the windows with some kind of UV filter so they can still let in the natural light. Thanks for sharing, I had never heard of this (not that that should be surprising). The amount of incredible workmanship in all the details of this house inside and out is amazing.

@AdamExploresBritain 6 ай бұрын

Yeah, it is a shame. There must be some way to limit the harm of the light coming in. Maybe they're not allowed to attach things to the windows due to the historic nature of the property? That might be it. But yes, a lovely house full of rich decoration :)

That was fascinating,thankyou.The NT are rather keen on keeping their houses dark,it is a shame,but as you say it’s done for good reason.Why dont you journey North & come & do a tour of Cragside in Northumberland!?Home of Lord Armstrong & the 1 st house lit by hydroelectricity!Beautiful grounds too!

@AdamExploresBritain 6 ай бұрын

I will be up there eventually. Cragside is firmly on my list. Maybe not this year but I have some Scottish houses that I want to visit so would probably go and see Cragside on the way. I'm planning on seeing some houses in East Anglia later this year (I really want to have a look around Holkham Hall and estate). Somerleyton looks terrific too but there's no access to the house for the foreseeable future so that's a shame. Thanks again, Adam :)

No I havn't. It's one that I hadn't come across actually, which is strange, as it looks spectacular. I will add it to my list of places to keep an eye on, although it doesn't look as though tours are that easy to come across. I will do some research at some point. Thanks for mentioning it :)

A magical house. Sadly my last visit was marred by rude and officious volunteers. I am disabled and use a scooter. I really did not appreciate being told to "Hurry up then"! On complaining the very first question was "Are you members?" So.. If u r disabled expect impatience and lack of sympathy and if you can't afford the massive membership fee you will be treated as a second class guest. Still a lovely place and well worth a visit!

@AdamExploresBritain 6 ай бұрын

How rude! I hope you eventually received a proper apology. But yes, it is a lovely place. My only slight gripe on the day was with how dark some of the rooms were. I suppose that's better than not opening the rooms at all though. Adam :)

@simoncrawley7430 2 ай бұрын

Nice one, thank you for posting. A suggestion if I may...why not record without audio, do your own soundtrack with voice commentary overdub and take it to the next level?

@AdamExploresBritain 2 ай бұрын

It's definitely something I can look into in future. I do feel more natural doing it onsite though, although obviously that does effect the clarity of the audio at times. Thanks for the suggestion :)

Thank you, Adam! How gloomy were these Victorian houses! The dark and ugly wallpaper did not help either. The embossed wallpaper in the dining room is awful! 🤮(LOL) The Great Hall is nice and bright (pity the wallpaper...😁) The chapel is nice and the cross at 20.47 is gorgeous. Regards!

@AdamExploresBritain 20 күн бұрын

Oh yes, I love the little chapel in this place. And yes, this place was particularly dark due to them closing too many curtains etc. Some beautiful features around the house and estate though. Thanks again, Adam :)

I can not believe out of all the rooms and out buildings they have they use the Morning room for storage? Twits.

@pogleswife7572 3 ай бұрын

There are 70,000 items in the collection at Tyntesfield and they can't all be on display. Bedrooms not open to the public are used for storage. The Morning Room has an eclectic mix of old and not so old items on display that the Gibbs family owned and its very interesting to see these pieces which you wouldn't normally get to see. Great idea to use the room to showcase different items.

@veronicaroach3667 6 ай бұрын

Have to say I do not like Victorian decor, much prefer Georgian gentility & style - this house is so stuffed & so 'decorated' it is stifling ! And this is impressive but what it does for me most of all is show me just how totally ridiculous that level of wealth was for one family - there is not one single thing they DON'T HAVE on this estate - the sauna was the final straw for me - now you know they would be hard pressed to actually use all of this in one single life !!! This is what they built to SHOW OFF their extensive wealth, and you can imagine them just trying to come up with the 'next thing' the others hadn't got yet - beating the Jones's !!! My practical streak is extremely offended by this extravagance knowing how destitute so many others were during this period !

@AdamExploresBritain 6 ай бұрын

Fair comment. A lot of these places were indeed built in such a way as to try to impress other members of the 'upper' or 'privileged' classes. You're absolutely entitled to express your thoughts about this and I appreciate them. Thanks, Adam :)
