Partnering with Paxton House

Paxton House in Berwickshire
We teamed up with Paxton House to offer National Trust for Scotland members free entry in 2020 to this beautiful Palladian mansion.

*Please note this partnership has now ended.*

There’s so much for you to enjoy – the house is filled with treasures, including a nationally significant collection of Chippendale and Trotter furniture and masterpieces from the National Galleries of Scotland. Children can enjoy the Teddy Trail that runs throughout the house. In the extensive grounds there are gardens, woodland, an adventure play park and even a den building area.

Quote
“This gives our members even more reason to explore the Borders and the beautiful places we protect here, for the love of Scotland.”
Mark Bishop, Director of Customer & Cause

  • The front exterior of Paxton House with a very grand colonnaded entrance. A large gravel drive sweeps in front of the house.
  • The picture gallery of Paxton House, showing a long, grand room with gold decoration on the ceiling. It has a red patterned carpet, with a grand piano. Lots of gilt-framed paintings are displayed on the walls. There is a bright cupola in the centre of the room.
  • The tearoom at Paxton House, showing a wooden table and chairs with a plate of food set out. An ice cream sundae is set before the second seat.
  • A view of the back exterior of the grand Paxton House, with a pond and central urn in the foreground.
  • A blue rowing boat lies on the muddy bank beside the River Tweed. A pile of nets and fishing buoys lie at the back of the boat.

With the savings made on entry fees, why not treat yourself to lunch in the Stables Tearoom and a visit to the Regency Gift shop.
