Canons Ashby is a tranquil Tudor manor house set in rare terraced gardens, with the 'antient' Dryden family at its heart. Canons Ashby was built by the Drydens using the remains of a medieval priory; and the house and gardens have survived largely unaltered since 1710, and are presented as they were during the Victorian era.
The warm, welcoming house features grand rooms, stunning tapestries and Jacobean plasterwork, contrasting with the domestic detail of the servants' quarters.
Stroll in the historic parkland and catch glimpses of early medieval landscapes, while a wander through the priory church reveals the story of the canons of Canons Ashby.

There is a Tearoom there, open to National Trust members and visitors, housed in the old stables, serving hot and cold meals, drinks, sandwiches, and light snacks. Seating available inside and out. If you prefer, you can bring a picnic instead.
