Bisterne Manor: dragons, wars and history.

This visit, guided by the owners, takes the visitor through many aspects of country estate life, with entertaining stories from the killing of the Bisterne Dragon, the Peninsula War, right up to the present day. The Manor, very much a family home, is full of interesting objects and reflects the family roots in England, America and Belgium.

There are quite a few steps, so wear flat shoes.
