Join us for a novel view of a Tudor house. Visitors can explore a lift-accessible rooftop walkway, looking down on the house, with its roof removed to view the £5.4 million renovation project from above.
At the site visited by Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn in 1535, ascend the scaffolding and see the work for yourself. Viewing points enable you to get an insider’s view of the project as well as vistas of The Vyne Estate including the wetlands and parkland.

Description
Originally built as a great Tudor 'power house', The Vyne was visited by King Henry VIII on at least three occasions and later became a family home, cherished by the Chute family for more than 350 years. Dramatic improvements and changes over the centuries have made The Vyne a fascinating microcosm of changing fads and fashions. The house is filled with an eclectic mix of fine furniture, portraits, textiles and sculpture. The attractive gardens and grounds feature an ornamental lake, delightful woodlands and flourishing wetlands, a haven for wildlife and waterfowl which can be observed from the bird hide.
