Kelmscott Manor was the country retreat of the designer and writer William Morris, and it still holds a large collection of the family's furniture, textiles, paintings and ceramics. The Grade I listed house sits in a small village beside the River Thames and is visited on timed entry, so families can plan their visit around a set slot. Younger visitors can follow a family trail led by a character through the rooms. Outside, there are walled garden areas, an orchard, a large meadow with a stream, and a topiary dragon clipped by Morris himself. The family programme includes outdoor games on the lawns and a Learning Barn where free drop-in craft workshops run during the open season. A tearoom and gift shop are on the estate.
