Nothing can beat a picnic on a sunny summer's day at Croome with picnic spots to suit everyone in the parkland.
Great views
Church Hill is a lovely place to take in the far reaching views towards the house and the Malvern Hills or a short walk to the Rotunda gives great views to the outer parkland.
