Lanhydrock House is a Victorian mansion house with extensive gardens and woodland as part of the estate. Although some parts of it date from the early 17th century, the grade I listed building is largely more recent due to a fire which destroyed the original property in 1881. It is generally known as just 'Lanhydrock'. The house is now managed by the National Trust. Visitors can explore 54 of its rooms, plus the gardens and even cycling trails in the grounds.
