National Trust Charlecote Park

Overlooking the river Avon on the edge of Shakespeare’s Stratford, Charlecote Park is a National Trust property that has been part of this corner of rural Warwickshire for centuries. Explore over 280 acres of parklands and gardens where you can spot herds of Jacob sheep and fallow deer roaming freely through the landscape inspired by Lancelot 'Capability' Brown, along with much wildlife that calls the parkland home. Still the Lucy family home after 900 years, you can admire the history and vision of the Victorian owners George Hammond Lucy and his wife, the formidable Mary Elizabeth, who extended their home and filled it with treasures from their European travels. Step back in time to see the beautifully preserved outbuildings in the Service Courtyard, along with one of the finest carriage collections in the National Trust. Enjoy refreshments in one of the cafes and pick up a souvenir in the shop to remember your day by.
