Melford Hall - National Trust Melford Hall's story is one of survival against the odds and the people who have made it possible.

Chat to our friendly room guides, play a game of croquet on the lawn, or just relax with a cream tea in the Park Room or a book in the garden.

“Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May…”

With the weather we have been experiencing this past week, these words from Shakespeare definitely feel true. But the sun has also been shining and the garden is full of colour.
