The decision to keep the National Trust\u2019s property, near Wrexham, open all year round has been made in response to the surge in popularity of the property.<\/p>\n

The house and gardens which were the focus of BBC National Treasures Live featuring Sian Lloyd, Dan Snow and Sheila Hancock and To the Manor Reborn featuring Penelope Keith and Paul Martin, have been open to the public since 1977, but only from March onwards<\/p>\n

\u201cSo many people enjoy the property as a day out, venue for events and a local amenity that we took the decision to stay open all year, and offer them more to enjoy,\u201d said Erddig\u2019s Sue Jones.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was always such a shame that in the past the public couldn\u2019t enjoy the gardens at this time of year when the light is fantastic, and its structural quality at its most dramatic.<\/p>\n

“But if you\u2019re coming to take on the many woodland walks, don\u2019t forget to bring your camera \u2013 and a pair of waterproof boots!\u201d<\/p>\n

All of the beautifully designed formal gardens, where the first signs of spring are starting to emerge, are open, in addition to the restaurant, shop and Erddig\u2019s below stairs experience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
