The new country house encompassed the old property entirely, and once completed it was given the name Attingham Hall.The Estate comprises roughly 4,000 acres, but during the early 1800s extended to twice that amount at 8,000 acres . The extensive 640 acres parkland and gardens of Attingham have a Grade II* Listed status. Over 470,000 people visited the house in 2017/18, placing it as the fourth most popular National Trust house.Across the 640 acre parkland there are five Grade II* listed buildings, including the stable block, the Tern Lodge toll house which can be seen on the B4380, and two bridges that span the River Tern.
