This area is beautiful. We walked around the area and there's just so much to see. Even the free area is iconic. The little river that runs behind the temple is so pretty.
It's worth going in the actual grounds- such an experience me and my family will never forget. I got postcards and read about each room on the grounds. Very nice staff work there in the gift shop a well.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Rachel M.Marsden, イギリス944542011年10月6日
Had a nice family day out and we decided we would go here.
We went up to Leeds and then had to catch the Bus 19 which took us up between Temple Newsam house and the golf grounds, we then had to walk about 10 minutes to get to the actual place.
Walking up to it you're surrounded by green and then there are a load of tree's that seperate so you can walk through them towards the house and grounds, it was like something out of a postcard.
When we actually got to the grounds we were stumped on where to go first! Do we go into Temple Newsam House OR do we head towards their little farm OR do we wonder around their 1500 acres of woodlands, fields etc!? Spoilt for choice
We started off with the house itself. Prices for a family tickets (2 adults & up to 3 children) are:
Temple Newsam House: £9.50
Home Farm: £8.70
Joint Ticket: £15.50
The house is magnificent! You are asked not to take photo's. This is because of the flash as the light and heat can damage pictures etc, it can cause a chemical reaction.
I did take a few pictures, but made sure my flash was OFF as not to damage anything.
You have a choice of walking around the house reading bits and bobs, or you can use these handheld blocks where you punch in the number per room and a recording will guide you through the room and explain. There are also children's versions of this.
We all got confused by it so we opted out lol.
Had a little laugh as there is a picture of a man near the picture gallery and he was a spitting image of my father - didn't take a photo of this.
Despite it being so big and perhaps a bit dull for children, our children loved it and were full of questions that we tried to answer. They were excited about going into different rooms and their favourite room was the 'nannys room' where they had modern toys for children to play with.
We then headed towards the farm. I will be honest with you, I didn't like the farm as much as I would have normally - perhaps it was because of the weather? I would have liked it to have been a farm where we could feed the animals too because places such as the barns with cows, they only had 1 large bucket of this protien stuff which meant that only the biggest cows had managed to get to it (would YOU try and squeeze inbetween 2 fully grown cows!?) and so the younger smaller ones had no chance - perhaps later in the day they would?? :( . One was even eating the straw on the ground which was covered in 'you know what', so I didn't like that bit.
The highlight of the farm was that we saw piglets being born! That was amazing!
The grounds are huge! As I've already said, all of this is within 1500 acres of land and they have woodlands you can explore which we didn't have time to get to, so it's deffinately an all day trip or perhaps even 2 days.
I would go again, although I wouldn't pay for the farm again.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0 - Li F.Leeds, イギリス135093842010年2月12日更新されたレビュー
Ok I know I've just done Temple Newsam House, but the two were listed differently from each other whilst essentially being the same estate, they do provide different functions, in that the House is a museum in it's own right, where as the estate as a whole offers different attractions, in addition to the farm house and blah di blah.
So the Temple Newsam estate comprises of Temple Newsam House, the House Farm, Temple Newsam Tea Rooms, 1500 acres of woodland, greenland, parkland, and gardens, 264 acres of woodland and wildlife greenery, sport and recreation outdoor facilities, and is home to open air fesitvals such as Opera North.
Whilst the outdoorsy bits are free to plod around in, the House Farm and Temple Newsam House are ticketed, £3.50 for the latter, £3.25 for the former, and £5.75 for a joint ticket, with various concessions and family tickets for parents and kidlet combos.
There really is a full day's worth of activities to be had at the Temple Newsam estate, and if culture and art and greenery are your things then you will be in your high brow element here. On a nice day the colours of the landscapes and gardens are truly breathtaking, and there's a nice hum of children playing and being entertained by education which is more pleasing than annoying. Surprised!
The history of Temple Newsam House from it's aquisition and ownership, complete with it's artistic offerings is interesting on a visual and historical level, whilst the House Farm, gives the same experiences but from the worker's perspectives. Wandering up and down the cobbled streets and seeing where the pig and bird pens are now, whilst gawping slack jawed in at the washing rooms and various work sheds, such as the blacksmith and joiner's sheds, is rather pleasing and a true shocker on just how things have changed. "Mum where's the computer?" made me laugh, along with such other classics as "if there's no telly, what did they do when they came home from school?" and "I bet life was well rubbish before the Wii".

Temple Newsam House is the stately home within the grounds of Temple Newsome estate, and due to present ownership by Leeds Council, it is open to the public for culture vultures to peruse and enjoy.
Temple Newsam house is absolutely steeped in historical marvel value. The house was erected on the grounds in the very early 16th Century, and is Tudor-Jacobean in architecture and style. There is a tonne of information about the estate and ownership thereof, including the passing of the estate to the Knights Templar, through to the birth of Lord Darnley, his marriage to Mary Queen of Scots, ownership by the Crown, ownership by the Ingram's and then on to Leeds City Council.
Whist the grounds are free to wander around, a tour of the house will cost you. Granted it isn't Harewood House prices, but this shouldn't devalue the experience any less. Pay £3.50 to enter the house, and be walked through portraits of the owners and residents gone by, gawp at the furniture collections, wonder at the ceramics and appreciate the craftsmanship of the textiles displays, especially the State Bed.
Should the dates allow, then wander through the appropriate rooms and enjoy the exhibits and displays Temple Newsam House has to offer, current offerings include the fabulously comprehensive Wonderwall exhibit, one entirely dedicated to the history and intricacies of Wallpaper. Gotta love it.
Also something to bear in mind for those nuptual inclined folks, as the house is available for wedding ceremonies, including rooms available for post service dining. - 2011年3月1日
As we hopefully approach spring my fancy turns to wandering aimlessly amidst the glory and wonder that is nature and what better place to do that than on of the several stately homes and grounds dotted around Leeds.
Temple Newsam is within walking distance of home for me (if I were in the mood) and I love to lose myself in the woods, spotting wild life, taking the air and dreaming my dreams. It's easy to spend a day here exploring the woods, gardens and lakes; visiting the magnificent home farm with it's rare breeds collection and wonderful displays; admiring the beautiful house and taking tea in the pleasant tea rooms.
There are regular countryside activities especially in school holidays and watch out for open air productions staged in the amphitheatre.
These days Temple Newsam might be best known as the venue for the amazing Opera and Party in the Park events both of which are free and absolutely fantasticHelpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Amy P.Leeds, イギリス84023452010年1月4日
This wonderful asset to Leeds provides an insight into lives of the very, very rich of the Tudor-jacobean era the mansion was home to the Ingram family for over 300 years. In this time there have been extensive collections of fine arts and furniture.
The house has a farm which houses Europe's largest working Rare Breeds Farm. The public and roam the cobbled area of the farm and admire the Great Barn built in 1694 whilst also learning about the history and importance of the farm to the estate as a whole.
Further to the house and farm are well manicured and cultivated parks and gardens as well as wildlife rich areas. Being an estate of 1500 acres there are plenty of well designed as well as more natural features to explore and admire. Entry costs for the farm and house are divided or you can pay more for a joint ticket. There is plenty to see and do and well as being a pleasant day out.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Qype ユーザー (speng…)Leeds, イギリス549562011年6月7日
I lived very near to Templenewsam house as a child, so i have very fond memories of it.
The farm is great for younger children, although there is a fee.
The grounds are very well maintained as is the house.
Good day out for all.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - April K.Leeds, イギリス56126282012年6月18日
The free side of Temple Newsam is fantastic. Lots of lovely walks, a few geocaches, lovely gardens and my special favourite- the Egyptian walk, where you walk over the farm without going into it and get to see some of the animals. Merlot, my dog, especially likes that :) The azalea walk is great at this time of year too. (just behind the farm, away from the house)
I went to the farm this last weekend and fell in love with a kid...as in the baby goat. We had a moment. there was a lot of chin scratching and cuddles through the fence. it was special.
I also loved watching the chickens and it was great to see so many breeds. Spurred me on to get some of my own!
Overall a great afternoon out and fantastic to take the kids (human kind) along to get them interacting with animals.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 3Oh no 0 - Andy C.Leeds, イギリス26372012年3月26日更新されたレビュー
just a quick update I'm amazed at how cheap the house is to book for a wedding
The room you use effects the price but we are paying £500 for a room to seat forty at the ceremony and another room for drinks afterwards, this price includes staff to pour the drinks and the use of a huge solid silver wine cooler which will look amazing for the wedding photo'sHelpful 2Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 02011年7月3日以前のレビューIf the sun is shining you cant beat temple newsham as a venue theres some wonderful woods, a lake, the house, a childrens farm, play park and a little cafe.
After the council made entry more expensive for families it is now quieter with the leeds card being pointless as a family ticket is cheaper than individual entry with the leeds card discount this goes for both the house and farm its free to wander the woods and grounds.
The house is reportedly haunted and is a good venue for halloween for kids.
The new park looks impressive and given the number of kids swarming all over it, it has been a great success. - Devlin O.Leeds, イギリス41081342013年4月10日
Tempsy, as us locals call it is right on my doorstep, I walk round here all the time, and back as a lad we played war in the woods, and went gollying to raise cash, (collecting lost golf balls and selling them to golfers who were playing) or caddying for complete strangers, can you imagine parents letting kids do that now, oh the memories, lol, anyway I digress, there are loads of walks round the house, woods and garden, there's a farm which used to be free but costs a few quid now but is worh it, ducks to feed on the ponds and a few geocaches if you do them

We paid to visit the farm and the house and enjoyed both.
The farm was a bit shabby but the kids visiting all seemed to love it and there was a large open area at the back with goats, sheep, donkeys and a fascinating working Bee hive that you can see inside, all of which could easily be missed. There was also two play areas for young children hidden here too.
I am not a 'old house' person, but have to admit that there were some spectacular areas in this place and if you take one of the free audio tours, you will be there for a while.
There is a huge parkland area outside the house, ideal for a picnic or there is refreshments (much of which seem to come from the farm). Prices in the cafe were reasonable.
We paid around £3 for parking, but there were free car parks too, if you don't mind a longer walk to the house.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0
