L ayton Castle sits on 5 acres of gardens and ancient trees and hosts a family cemetery, a 1790s wine house and historic bottle museum, a converted carriage house and recently renovated suites for short stays and small events.

The tour includes visiting the family floor with its Victorian parlor, library full of 1800s books, Audubon dining room and more.
