Book Tickets Online

About

Located on the outskirts of town, find the best day out in Bath with breath-taking views, fascinating museum collections, stunning gardens, shop, children’s play area and the new American Garden Deli. 

The Museum’s home is a Grade I listed Georgian estate with gardens designed by famous US landscape architects Oehme van Sweden, an arboretum and sweeping parkland. The contemporary New American Garden is a tapestry of American prairie planting, with swathes of ornamental grasses and perennials, roses and thousands of daffodils and alliums. The Mount Vernon Garden takes its inspiration from George Washington’s estate in Virginia, where produce is now grown for the Deli. Located in the Cotswolds AONB, there are spectacular views across the Limpley Stoke valley. 

Dogs on leads are welcome in the gardens, parkland, and the cafe. Assistance dogs are able to go into the museum and exhibition gallery.
