There is limited parking outside the palace & gardens but the main car park is 10 Min walk and has about 60 spaces and 2 spaces for electric vehicles and it is free. The palace is still lived in so your not allowed to take photographs inside the building. If you have mobility issues the palace can be difficult to get around as there is 3 levels of stairs and there a bit uneven in places but you can go to the garden for walk around. When you start you need to start at the top floor and work your way down. Most of the staff were in costume and are very pleasant and very informative. A few of the rooms were closed due to unforeseen circumstances. To keep the kids entertained they can do a Lego find the figures quiz. The gardens are well maintained and really nice to walk around or sit and enjoy the scenery. The tennis court was a bit of a disappointment. I know there the oldest one in the world but when you look at them it feels like your in prison. The plus point is the birds have nests in the building roof and you can see the baby birds getting food but just watch as you walk in as they use the main door to come in and out and are very fast.The The orchard has picnic tables and a large grass area. As you enter the orchard there is a small shed and you can take out the play items crochet set, large connect 4,etc. The only toilets are beside the shop. When you finish you should take a walk around the town. It feels like you've went back in time and it's really nice to walk around weather permitting.
Allow yourself time for this attraction, the Village, Palace & apothecary gardens combined make for a interesting place to visit. The village people are friendly, there's nice tearooms & shop's around the Palace. The Palace staff & guides are very knowledgeable & helpful. I've drove passed by the Palace a few times but never new the extent of the Palace, grounds & gardens etc. In my opinion a good place for a few hours visit on a nice sunny day. Always check opening hours before your visit.
We really loved our visit here. The village is cosy and beautiful and the Palace was really interesting with excellent information given by the hosts in the main rooms of interest. We liked it so much that we went back a couple of weeks later to see A Midsummer Night's Dream performed in the gardens. All tucked away in my mind's happy memories box now.
Our group absolutely loved it. The girls had so much fun looking for the lego figures in the rooms. Each area of the Palace is truly stunning, with original features and furniture. The hosts in each room are incredible, with a vast knowledge of the Palace and it's rich history. We all had a great time playing with the garden toys!
Beautiful formal gardens and wilder orchard area. Very peaceful and relaxing. Lots of butterflies and bees. Friendly and informative staff. Especially the volunteer sorry didn't catch his name with his beautiful pet Harris hawk - Maebh. Also here is the oldest tennis court in the world which is still played on. Lots of history. Didn't make it into the palace itself - save that for another day.
A great palace & gardens with lots to see, plenty to keep the kids entertained with a treasure hunt to keep them occupied on the tour. There are helpful guides with lots of information. We were lucky to see the ladies in the workshop too, which is only opened once a month. Parking is free in the car park not so far away 5 minute walk to the palace. Accessibility may be difficult due to the nature of the building and its winding stairs, gardens are easily accessed though.
Well kept palace and gardens situated in a quaint village. The guides within the palace were great- imparting their knowledge in an interesting way- especially enjoyed chatting with Christine. Lovely gardens - shop had nice things but overpriced. Pleased to use our national trust cards here too.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
Great place to visit. The first ever tennis court is here. Lots to see. Beautiful gardens. A small gift shop is on site. Not good for people with limited mobility as there are lots of stairs & most are spiral. Falkland itself is a lovely wee place. Some nice places to eat. & walks nearby.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNot sure
An autumn visit to Falkland Palace. Enjoyed the tour inside the Palace, lots of really interesting history and historic pieces to see. No photography allowed inside the building's. There is a magnificent and large tapestry to view. The gardens were clearly in their autumn colours and they really will be worth a visit in the Summer.
Really enjoyed our visit to the palace, more so as they had guides to tell you the history which makes it more interesting. Due to covid this has been lacking much better than reading information on cards. Guides help bring the history alive.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
