Baddesley Clinton
About
Baddesley Clinton is a secluded, intimate estate set in the heart of the Forest of Arden. The 500‑year‑old manor house, built by Henry Ferrers, showcases late medieval, Tudor and 20th‑century histories, and once sheltered persecuted Catholics in its secret hiding places. The grounds offer a peaceful walled garden, a restored vegetable plot, and lakeside walks through ancient oak and lime trees. Dining takes place in the barn‑restaurant, serving hot and cold meals, light bites and sweets, while a gift shop and a second‑hand bookshop provide perfect mementos of a day spent in heritage and nature. A visit is a gentle, family‑friendly stroll through Tudor history, scenic gardens, and woodland – ideal for couples, history enthusiasts, and garden lovers alike.
