Chatelherault
About
Chatelherault Country Park is a Five‑Star visitor attraction steeped in history and natural beauty. Originally a 1732 hunting lodge and summer house for the Dukes of Hamilton, the park now offers a visitor centre, the historic West Lodge with its Banqueting Hall, and a range of guided tours that bring the region’s heritage to life. Beyond its architectural treasures, the park boasts 10 miles of woodland and river trails, four distinct walking routes that cater to all fitness levels, and an integrated playground that delights families of all ages. Whether you’re strolling along the Avon, exploring the West Lodge’s elegant rooms, or sampling the on‑site café’s healthy snacks, every corner of Chatelherault invites guests to relax and explore. Chatelherault is also a sought‑after venue for weddings, functions, and conferences, offering beautifully preserved gardens, banquet suites, and a modern auditorium. With open all year (except Christmas and New Year public holidays) and children’s amenities, it remains a top choice for both casual visitors and event organisers.
