Shuttle bus tickets can be purchased in advance with your admission or on the day at the Welcome Pavilion. Return tickets are £2.50 for adults and £1.50 for children aged 2-17. Infants aged 0-1, blue badge holders, and essential companions can ride free of charge.
A regular shuttle service runs from the visitor car park to the North Fountain, then to the Stables, and back to the car park approximately every 10 minutes. The last shuttle to the car park departs from the North Fountain at 5.30 pm.
If you are visiting the house, we suggest allowing 30 minutes for parking and bus transfer prior to your timed entry. This may take longer during busy times.
