No dogs.
A magnificent Marcher fortress completed in 1310, with commanding views over the surrounding countryside.
Elegant state rooms with elaborate plasterwork, superb Adam-style furniture, tapestries and portraits.
In the formal gardens there are clipped yews, roses and a variety of flowering shrubs.
Elaborate entrance gates made in 1719 by the Davies brothers.
A 5 acre family garden, part of which date back to the 17th century, the yews in the formal garden were planted after 1872 by Richard Myddleton Biddulph.
The rose garden contains mainly floribunda roses and was probably created at the turn of the last century. The long shrub border was a herbaceous border in the 1920s but is now a mixed border for easier maintenance.
The shrub garden features many fine plants, a huge larch reputed to be over 300 years old, many magnolias, hydrangeas and rhododendrons. A classical garden pavilion designed by William Emes stands at the end of the terrace.
A lime tree avenue underplanted with daffodils leads from the terrace up to an early 18th century statue of Hercules. The rockery contains an abundance of plants and flowers all through the year.
Below the rockery is the hawk house
