At the heart of the park, Croome Court, the former home of the 6th Earl of Coventry is a light, open space. Displays created by collaborating, as the Earl once did, with emerging new craftsmen and designers to create a house and garden into a landscape to remember.

The lakeside in the ‘Capability’ Brown parkland is the perfect place to explore with temples, follies and statues around every corner. The natural play area and the RAF themed playground is a fun way to spend an afternoon with your family. Why not explore with one of our downloadable walks.

Some of these wartime buildings, once the wartime hospital complex, still remain and some have been restored to become our visitor centre and museum.
