What to See and Do



What to see and do at Newstead Abbey very much depends on your interests! Library

Historic House

Visitors interested in historic houses can linger over displays and reading material in the Library, or marvel at the expansive panelling in the Great Hall, all reputed to have come from a single oak tree!

Great Drawing Room
Stories of the Past

Splendid Victorian room settings await those interested in Victorian history, and the medieval Cloisters and Chapter House (now the Chapel) wait to be explored by those visitors interested in Newstead Abbey's earlier history.

Chapel
Byron's Study

Poet Byron

Visitors interested in the poet Byron can see his private apartments, as well as letters, objects and furniture that belonged to the poet.

Byron's Dog Boatswain Fun for Families

Families can have fun trying on replica period costumes in the Dressing Up Room, and spotting the various animals throughout the Abbey, such as the painting of Byron's dog, Boatswain. Be sure to ask for a copy of the Wildlife Safari quiz which helps you spot the animals.

Ghosts in the Great Hall



Staff are on hand to provide information and answer questions about Newstead Abbey, its history and its ghosts!
