Welcome to Gilbert White’s House & Garden and The Oates Collection website. Come and enjoy a special day out at this fascinating and most original museum commemorating important individuals in the exploration of the natural world, set in an historic village in beautiful countryside. Having paid admission,our guests are free to come and go as often as they please that day. View the House and Museum, go for a walk around the delightful gardens and through the Park to see the follies, take tea in the Parlour and shop in the old billiard room. Time and energy permitting, walk up the famous Gilbert White’s Zigzag through the hanging beechwoods, return and tour the grounds. Or just sit and look at one of the most delightful views in the South of England.

Access
The museum welcomes visitors with disabilities and our staff will do all they can if any assistance is needed. The ground floor of the house, the Tea Parlour and the gift shop are all level access or ramped access. The first floor, which accommodates the Oates Gallery and Gilbert White’s bedchamber, is only accessible via stairs: there is no lift. The garden is accessible on well-kept grass and paths specially laid with very shallow gravel. The parkland beyond the garden is sloping and laid to rough grass. The museum has a non-motorised wheelchair which visitors are free to borrow – just ask at Reception.
