Coughton Court

One family's journey from danger to triumph

Autumn is here with the wonderful colours that it brings. The gardeners are working really hard to keep our displays looking good and there is still plenty to see and admire. Hedge cutting is a priority now so there may be small areas that you will need to avoid. The bog garden is still closed due to the major refurbishment taking place there.

There are two historic churches just a stone's throw down the drive, be sure to visit them while you're here.

We have lots to do for families here at Coughton inside and out. Do come along and join in the fun.

A bluebell wood, historic dovecote, and a carved clock are just some of the many things you can find on a walk around the estate and surrounding countryside. Please note that we are not always open over winter. You can check opening dates here on our website.

In 2018 we’re exploring women’s work, duty and political agency during the First World War through the stories of four Coughton women from different backgrounds – Emily Ainge, Isabel Eagles, Kate Mason and Lilian Throckmorton.

Our shopping experience includes the Coach House shop, the Stables book shop and the plants in the Courtyard run by the Throckmorton family gardeners.

We've delicious fresh and seasonal food and afternoon teas to enjoy. Pop across the Courtyard if you fancy a tasty ice cream.

Why not bring a picnic with you to enjoy at one of our two picnic areas?
