Lytes Cary Manor

Though the weather wasn’t great I headed down to visit Lytes Cary Manor.

I have been before in September 2023 and February 2025. It’s a lovely house with some nice gardens. Sometimes I think do I want to visit a property again, as I had been there before, I think with Lytes Cary Manor as I explored the rooms in the house, I did wonder if I had actually been here before. I had, but it wasn’t familiar as say Tyntesfield is. I do quite like revisiting a property and there is always something new to see. One feature I noticed this time though was the plaster ceiling which was very similar one at Westwood Manor.

Lytes Cary Manor

Lytes Cary Manor is an intimate medieval manor house with a beautiful Arts and Crafts-style garden where you can imagine living. Originally the family home of Henry Lyte, where he translated the unique Niewe Herball book on herbal remedies, Lytes Cary was then lovingly restored in the 20th century by Sir Walter Jenner. The garden rooms contain a magical collection of topiary and herbaceous borders, while tranquil walks on the estate take you along the River Cary.

I finished my visit with a cup of tea and a cheese scone. It was warm enough to sit outside, which was nice.

Lytes Cary Manor #50places2025

After enjoying my National Trust membership in 2023, I decided I would rejoin the Trust for 2025. 

I went to Lytes Cary Manor in September 2023 and it was nice to revisit the property.

I arrived at Lytes Cary Manor and parked the car. It was quite busy.

I headed to the house and had a look around. Last time I was there, due to a lack of volunteers the first floor was closed, this time it was open.

I then headed to the café to have some soup and a cheese scone. However, not only was there a queue, it was packed. If it had been warmer I might have eaten outside, but it was quite chilly, so decided to give the soup and scone a miss. Maybe next time.

Lytes Cary Manor

For Christmas I got a National Trust membership. It’s being a few years since I was last a member, but now looking forward to visiting new places and going back to places we have been to before.

Back in 2016 I did start to keep a note of how much we saved with the membership, but looking back over the blog, I never kept up to date with that, but with this membership I am intending to blog about the visits we do this year and the savings we made.
