About

Weston Park, a magnificent country house and garden estate, is located in Weston‑under‑Lizard, Staffordshire, England. The 17th‑century Georgian mansion, designed in the Carolean style, shelters an extraordinary art collection of over 30,000 works, ranging from early English portraits and landscapes to exquisite furniture by celebrated makers such as Thomas Chippendale and John Constable. The surrounding 1,000 acres of Capability Brown‑landed park boast sweeping lawns, a large lake, a miniature railway and remarkable architectural features—including the Grade I listed Roman Bridge, the elegant Temple of Diana, and Victorian‑era glass‑roofed greenhouses. Gifted to the nation in 1986 by the 7th Earl of Bradford, the estate remains open to the public, offering visitors the chance to explore richly furnished rooms, stroll through meticulously designed gardens, or enjoy a range of festivals and events such as the Midland Game Fair and Camp Bestival Shropshire. A typical visit of about three hours allows guests to appreciate the historical architecture, admire the art collection and wander the landscaped park.
