A guided tour titled Secrets of Coleshill takes place at Buscot and Coleshill Estates in Swindon on 1 August 2026. The tour provides information about Coleshill House, which was lost to fire in the 1950s. Tickets are free.
There’s much more to Coleshill than meets the eye. Join a guided tour to find out more about Coleshill House, lost to fire in the 1950s, and discover the secret and sabotage-filled wartime training that took over much of the estate during the Second World War. You'll also see behind the scenes of the former Model Farm, now home to the National Trust Heritage and Rural Skills Centre.
From fake castles and cunningly-camouflaged huts to a hi-tech Victorian farm, this tour reveals elements of Coleshill that you might walk past without noticing.
This tour involves a walk of approximately 1km around Coleshill, including a steep hill.
Guided tours of the Coleshill Home Farm and Skills Centre take place monthly from March to October. Tours last approximately 60 minutes, with a chance to look round our exhibition afterwards.
Please collect your ticket from the Visitor Welcome point in the main carpark, at least 10 minutes before your tour starts.
Free for National Trust members and under 5s, otherwise tickets cost £6 per adult and £3 per child (under 18).
