About
Elevated on a hilltop beside the Marden River, Old Wardour Castle stands as an evocative ruin of a 14th‑century tower house. Visitors can wander through the Georgian banqueting house, the imaginative Gothic Grotto adorned with reclaimed stones, and explore the great hall, eastern tower and the surrounding parkland offering picturesque picnic spots. The site hosts family‑oriented activities such as the interactive ‘Can you keep your castle?’ game, audio tours, and a folk‑tailed creature trail, making it a perfect day out for couples, families, and history enthusiasts seeking a relaxed yet immersive experience in Wiltshire's peaceful countryside.
