A walk in Croome's pleasure grounds

In 1824 William Dean, the Botanic Gardener at Croome, published a book catchily titled 'An historical and descriptive account of Croome D'Abitot, the seat of the Right Hon. the Earl of Coventry'. Within the book is a descriptive walk through the 'Pleasure Grounds'. This trail is a recreation of that walk. Originally a circular route starting at the rear of the house, which included a few areas that sadly no longer exist, today's walk starts from our Visitor Centre about halfway round the original circuit.
