Weston Park, Shropshire
Weston Park was designed and built by Lady Elizabeth Wilbraham in 1671 and was home to the Earls of Bradford from the 17th Century onwards.
One of the classic stately homes in England, Weston Park sits in 1000 acres of beautiful countryside.
Inside the house you will find an amazing collection of fine art, tapestries, porcelain and objet d'art, displayed in richly decorated interiors. The Victorian library holds over 3000 books, the front hall is dedicated to the 3rd Earls love of horses and the dining room has an impressive collection of paintings by various artists including Anthony Van Dyck.
The gardens are equally impressive with a variety of gardens to explore. Capability Brown added his unique style to the gardens in the 18th century but other areas of interest include a Broderie Italian garden, Victorian Orangery and formal terraces. Beyond the formal gardens, there is a Teardrop Garden, Rose Walk, Medieval Deer Park and Temple Wood.
For kids there is a miniature railway, woodland adventure playground, Yew Hedge Maze and courtyard games as well as the hundreds of acres of gardens to run about.
There is a cafe, restaurant, coffee bar and gift shop.
