Explore Eastnor Castle
A must-do on the list for all visitors is to explore inside the castle
Eastnor Castle is a 19th Century revival castle built by the 2nd Baron (Lord) Somers, later 1st Earl, between 1810 and 1824. Eastnor Castle continues to be inhabited by his descendants and is a grade 1 listed building.
Eastnor Castle is now the home of the Hervey-Bathurst family, grandson of Arthur Cocks, 6th Baron Somers and is surrounded by a beautiful arboretum and lake. It has richly decorated interiors containing medieval armour, fine art and tapestries.
Visitors who explore the castle can view the magnificent state rooms including the Great Hall, State Dining Room, Gothic Drawing Room, Octagon Saloon and a number of the opulent bedrooms. Visitors are invited to enter the Castle through the magnificent main doors.
There are friendly, experienced and well informed guides in all of the rooms offering information and history on the Castle.
A wonderful guide book can also be purchased at the Visitor Entrance as a souvenir.
Allow around 1 hour for a leisurely walk around the Castle and be prepared to be amazed by the glorious views from the Octagon Room and Gothic Drawing Room.

“Experienced a lovely day here yesterday with my partner and 3 yr old. It was perfect, not too busy, fabulous grounds and a beautiful house. Nice ploughmans in the Tea Room also.
