Welcome to Mapperton House & Gardens
Unfortunately the House will not be open for visitors or tours on 10 or 21 October due to other functions. We are sorry for any inconvenience!
Home to the Earl and Countess of Sandwich, Mapperton is a glorious sandstone manor house and romantic valley garden deep in a lost Dorset combe among tumbling hills and unspoiled countryside. Fifteen acres of gardens descend from the croquet lawn, through the formal topiary down to the wild garden.
The House, Gardens and Coach House café are now open, Sunday to Thursday, 10am to 5pm. The House is open for guided tours only, starting at 12pm, 1pm, 2pm and 3pm. We look forward to seeing you!
