Rooted in the cultural and spiritual hinterland of the Marches, with its timeless panorama of unspoilt views stretching to the Welsh mountains, veteran trees and hidden pleasure grounds, it conceals a rich and turbulent history. Home to a prominent and resilient family, this is a place of power, politics and pleasure which has witnessed fortunes lost and recovered.

This event is free. No admission charge. Suitable for the whole family.
