Castellated manor house set in stunning countryside with panoramic views
Home to the Croft family for nearly 1,000 years, Croft Castle is a place of power, politics and pleasure. It nestles in peaceful Herefordshire countryside at the heart of a 607-hectare (1,500-acre) estate of woodland, farm and parkland.
Stroll through the parkland up to the Iron Age hill fort and view 14 of the old counties or explore the miles of woodland trails and find over 300 veteran trees. In the castle see the fine Georgian interiors as well as the beautiful family portraits and learn more about the people who have made Croft so special.
This year come and experience the newly presented Saloon set in the 1920’s in celebration of the Croft family moving back to the castle. See the family photographs, sit and read through the auction catalogues or just have a play on the piano.
