This house dates back to the 16th century and was brought here in pieces and then rebuilt. It is unbelievable and loaded with history. The inside reminds me of a stone castle. You are taken back to the Middle Ages. Great place and alot of history and artifacts you have never seen before. During the summer, they do Shakespere outside... More

My wife surprised me with an evening of Tea and Tulips. The tulips were beautiful. The staff were not the most inviting and the tea was just hot water and tea bags. I recommend going for the beauty of the tulips. More

The gardens are quite beautiful, not as extensive as Dumbarton Oaks by any means, but wonderfully designed by a master landscape designer and definitely worth a visit. We arrived too late to have time to visit the house, but hope to come back. More

This is a genuine article rather than a manufactured tourist attraction, therefore to get the best out of it you need to scratch under the surface. The house has a very interesting history, on both sides of the Atlantic. The tour will not set your world alight, but it does help to get a better insight into the house, and... More

We came during a slow season and lucked into a private tour given by a friendly, English, history PhD. We got lots of colorful detail and background and really enjoyed the hour in the house plus a nice stroll through the flower garden. More

Interesting reconstructed house; very Tudor. Look for the construction details that transport you back in time. Surprisingly, right in a residential neighborhood. More

Agecroft is a must-see for young and old. The home is breathtaking and the authentic pieces are so interesting. You get a great feel for life back in the 16th-17th century. The staff at Agecroft are extremely well educated and very friendly. More

I had no idea Agecroft Hall existed until I checked tripadvisor to see what I could do with a weekend in Richmond. Be sure to see the movie clip first to get the historical background. Our tour guide was fantastic - not only does she know Agecroft Hall inside out, her enthusiasm is catching! If you like to visit manors... More
