   Travelled quite a distance to see the Christmas decorations but the event was quite poor. Some nice Christmas trees and that was about it. Was in there less than 1 hour. Special mention to the guy in the bookshop who was lovely! Rude woman on the car park not so lovely.

   Visited on a bright, windy day with our daughter and dog to go a walk through the grounds to the lower lake. Had lunch sitting outside the cafe/restaurant and our baked potatoes were brought to the table. Lovely walk through a couple of woods and alongside the lower lake which had lots of Mallards, Widgeons (whistling ducks which were whistling today!), 1 Shoveler, 2 Adult Mute Swans & 2 mature Cygnet Mute Swans and the odd Coot and Moorhen. Chilly wind in places but thoroughly good walk to blow some cobwebs away.

   We had a fantastic day out at National Trust Nostell. The grounds are absolutely beautiful—spacious, well-kept, and great for a relaxed walk or a family picnic. Our kids especially loved the outdoor play area. It’s a great size, really well designed, and kept them happily entertained for ages. There was also a creepy-crawly activity trail during our visit over Halloween, which added a fun extra element to the day. Highly recommended for a day out in any season.

   Nostell Priory in Wakefield is a peaceful mix of history and nature. The grand house and calm parkland are beautiful to explore, and we even saw cows grazing nearby, which made it feel extra serene. A lovely place for a quiet walk and fresh air.

   A really gtate place, loads of walk, a very nice restaurant serving food and drinks. It's well worth being a member of the natural trust if you were to go here or any nation trust sites regularly. The staff in the house were all very friendly and knowledgeable of the house and previous owners. There is a play area for kids and a kitchen garden to walk around if you pay or are a member. The lake walks were very nice with loads of water birds on it. If you are not a member parking is not free.

   Great place for a walk, great for kids through summer have games etc for them in the area in front of the house. You will need a national trust card to enter house and back gardens. Lots of wild life and lakes with ducks, swans , geese. Nice walk around up to the obelisk...

   I was amazed how much there is to do here. Started by doing the estate walk which was around 4.5 miles and well signposted. I then explored the gardens which were beautiful with a mix of formal and herbaceous as well as some woodland areas. I then went around the house which was really ell presented with lot's to see. The room guides were very helpful and had a brilliant knowledge of the property.

   We really enjoyed our first time visit. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. The food in the cafe was delicious, we had the cauliflower, coconut and turmeric soup. I loved the gardens especially the meadows. We didn't have time to see the house but will definitely revisit, especially as we're National Trust members.

   We were visiting family in the area and decided this would be a good place to visit, and we weren't wrong! The car park was very busy, but as the grounds are so huge it didn't feel like it was over-run (lots of doggies too!) We aren't National Trust members so we paid the entry fee for the house and garden to the friendly attendant (you can also buy entry separately). We first looked around the house, which was very impressive (especially the doll's house). As with lots of these big houses, you don't seem to ever see as much as you would like when you are teased with 'private' areas (we were told afterwards that parts of the mansion are still inhabited by the family). The gardens are equally impressive, with a walled garden luring you to sit down and enjoy the relaxing vibe. The grounds really are massive, with a couple of bodies of water and some trails to follow. The cafe, shop and plant sale didn't disappoint either, with purchases made from all three. For its scale and attractions, this is definitely a 5 star property and worth a visit when in the area.

   Lovely winters walk. Well organised parking area. Kids had a great time, but next time bring wellies...the fields can get very soggy. Found a place near the house to have our picnic. The cafe had a great seating area. I enjoyed my coffee, lovely and hot on a cold sunny day.
