Young adventurers can get active with a collection of fun family games and challenges hidden in The Vyne’s sprawling gardens.
Little ones can explore the outdoors in the natural play area created especially for very young children just off the Lime Avenue.
If it rains, you can browse the gift shop, head into the Brewhouse tea-room for a hot chocolate, or venture into the house. Inside this ancient family home, you can wow the kids by showing them a secret Tudor peephole concealed in the panelling of The Study on the ground floor. There's also a very young, slim Henry VIII depicted in the chapel stained-glass windows. And at the end of the visitor route on the ground floor of the house there's a light and airy second hand bookshop with a cushioned bay window where you can leaf through your child's next favourite page-turner.
