COVID-19 virus: In line with UK government guidance, we are temporarily closing our visits until further notice, in order to help contain the spread of the COVID-19 virus, and ensure the safety and wellbeing of our visitors and community.
Sitting in a bowl on the edge of Exmoor, between the Brendon Hills to the East, and the Quantocks to the West, Orchard Wyndham is a secret and ancient place. Look at it from the North, and it appears to be a stately medieval manor. From the West, it looks more like a hamlet. Both are true.
It is a rambling, occasionally grand, often frail house that demands much maintenance and sensitive restoration. It is also a living house, the roots of our family.
We do our best to avoid giving the ordinary sort of tour. Whether a family member or friend, your guide will want to know your particular interests – to better tailor the tour. All visits are escorted, and visitors are invited to see the principal rooms, both upstairs and downstairs, as well as the gardens.
We are delighted to accept larger groups, which should book in advance so we can plan accordingly. Special groups, small clubs and societies are also welcome at other times of the year, by prior arrangement. Please contact us for details.

Please see the contact page for how to find Orchard Wyndham by road. You can also get to us by steam on the West Somerset Railway. This beautiful line, built through Wyndham land, runs between Minehead and Bishop’s Lydeard, stopping nearby at Williton. Please note that Williton Station is about 40 minutes walk from the house.
Visitors may also like to visit the country’s only museum of Bakelite artefactsat Orchard Mill, on the edge of the park, close to Williton. The Bakelite Museum also does a very fine cream tea, which visitors may find refreshing after their tour. Coming from Williton, access is to the right, just after St. Peter’s Church and just before the Lodge
