| The home of the Lucy family for over 700 years, the mellow brickwork and great chimneys of Charlecote seem to sum up the very essence of Tudor England. There are strong associations with both Queen Elizabeth I and Shakespeare, who knew the house well he is alleged to have been caught poaching the estate deer. The balustraded formal garden opens on to a fine deer park landscaped by 'Capability' Brown. | | | | | | Guided tours Average length of visit: 2hrs. On-board coach welcome. Introductory talk.
