Secrecy surrounded the Tyntesfield Estate near Bristol for over 100 years while the outside world was oblivious to both its existence and treasures. But all that changed in 2002 when it hit the headlines after being bought by the National Trust for over E20 million. Dan Cruickshank crosses a threshold that has, for over 150 years, been open only to family, friends and servants. Beyond a blanket of dense trees lies a Gothic fantasy and a monument to the Victorian age. Aided by family members, Cruickshank coaxes forgotten secrets out of hiding.
