Wallington
With a National Art Pass you get
Dating from 1688, Wallington is an impressive family home with a magnificent interior and a fine collection, including ceramics, paintings, dolls' houses, needlework and curiosities.
The ancestral home of the liberal-minded Trevelyan dynasty, Wallington boasts a remarkable Central Hall, which was decorated to look like an Italian courtyard and features a series of famous paintings of Northumbrian history by the Pre-Raphaelite William Bell Scott. In the Parlour there are paintings by Turner, Ruskin and Burne-Jones.
The house is set within a tranquil landscape of lawns, lakes, parkland, woodland and a beautiful walled garden.
