Gunby Hall in Lincolnshire is near Spilsby and not far from Skegness.
Built in 1700 by Sir William Massingberd it remained in continuous occupation by the Massingberd family until 1944 when it was gifted to The national Trust. The house has links to Alfred Lord Tennyson, Charles
Darwin and the English composer Ralph Vaughan Williams. The house is open to the public, as are the 8 acre gardens.
Well behaved dogs on leads are welcome in the gardens at Gunby Hall.
