About

Eastnor Castle is a 19th‑century stately home perched at the foot of the Malvern Hills, celebrated for its rich history and expansive deer park, arboretum and lake. The estate blends a beautifully preserved castle interior, featuring medieval armour, fine art and Victorian tapestries, with a spectacular landscape of ancient cedars and family‑friendly attractions such as the adventure playground, Knight’s Maze and Junior Obstacle Course. Dogs are warmly welcomed inside the castle and onto the grounds, making it a rare historic venue for pet owners. The castle offers a range of ticket options – from £7.50 for grounds only to £15.50 for castle and grounds – and encourages advance booking during busy periods, though access is not strictly reserved. With its varied programmes of events and activities throughout the open season, Eastnor Castle delivers a memorable experience for families, history enthusiasts and dog lovers alike.
