Make a Greener Journey — and Enjoy a Treat at Kingston Lacy

There’s never been a better time to visit Kingston Lacy, and now you can make your day out even more rewarding by arriving in a greener way. Show a valid bus ticket and enjoy a free regular hot drink — our little thank‑you for choosing sustainable travel.

While you’re here, there’s plenty to explore:

  • Step inside the grand 17th‑century house, home to an extraordinary art collection featuring works by Rubens, Van Dyck and Titian.
  • Wander through the Japanese Garden, the fernery, and the vibrant seasonal borders that make the grounds beautiful all year round.
  • Follow one of the woodland or parkland trails, perfect for peaceful walks, wildlife spotting, or simply soaking up the scenery.
  • Families can enjoy natural play areas, wide open lawns, and space to roam.
  • Round off your visit with a browse in the second‑hand bookshop or a treat from the café — including your complimentary hot drink.

Choosing the bus not only helps protect this special place, it also gives you a relaxing start to a day filled with art, history, and nature.
