Charlecote Park

Charlecote Park is a historic country estate in Warwickshire in central England centred on a prominent Tudor country house and surrounding parkland. The house and grounds are notable for their period architecture and grand park setting.

The estate combines an historic house with period interiors and displays, extensive parkland with roaming deer and riverside walks alongside the River Avon. The site offers formal gardens, mature specimen trees and opportunities for short walks and wildlife spotting.

Built as a gentry house in the Tudor period, the estate remained in the possession of a landed family for several centuries and retains many features from the 16th to 18th centuries. Over time the property was adapted and its parkland landscaped in the English country tradition.

The property lies near Stratford-upon-Avon in Warwickshire on the banks of the River Avon, within easy reach of the town and surrounding rural countryside. The estate sits in a lowland agricultural landscape with well-established tree cover.

• Public access: Managed and opened to the public by a national heritage organisation and often used for seasonal events and guided tours.
