Chastleton House and Garden

About

Chastleton House & Garden is a rare gem of a Jacobean country house, built between 1607 and 1612 and largely unchanged for over four centuries. Set on the rolling Cotswold hills near Moreton‑in‑Marsh, the house is a time‑capsule of family life, with period rooms, restored interiors and a living collection of textiles, glass and artwork that capture the prosperity of 17th‑century wool merchants. Adjacent to the house lies a series of intimate garden spaces – the Best Garden, Kitchen Garden, Wilderness Walk and Croquet Lawns – where visitors can wander through topiaries, water features and stately trees. The estate offers dog‑friendly pathways, a traditional dovecote, and the chance to partake in church teas on most open days. With free entry for National Trust members and thoughtfully curated guided walks, Chastleton invites both history enthusiasts and garden lovers to experience its tranquil ambience. Whether you’re exploring the rich architectural details of the long gallery or strolling through the garden’s quiet corners, Chastleton promises a journey back in time that feels as fresh and welcoming as the surrounding countryside.
