Welcome to Stately Homes

A magnificent Marcher fortress, completed in 1310. The rather austere exterior belies the comfortable and elegant state rooms inside, 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. The beautiful 18th-century parkland contains many mature trees as well as elaborate gates, made in 1719 by the Davies brothers. After 400 years of occupation, the Myddelton family still live here
