National Trust Croome

About

There’s more than meets the eye at Croome.

A secret wartime airbase, now a visitor centre, was once a hub of activity for thousands of people. Outside is the grandest of English landscapes, ‘Capability’ Brown’s masterful first commission, with commanding views over the Malverns. The parkland was nearly lost, but is now great for walks and adventures with a surprise around every corner.

Covid-19 update:  To open safely, we are limiting visitor numbers and you'll need to book in advance.   Sadly if you don't book, you'll be turned away even if you're a National Trust member.  Recommended visit time, 2 hours.
Open for your visit:  1.5 mile parkland circuit, one way route on hard surfaced paths including lakeside walk and historic parkland buildings.  A limited range of takeaway drinks and light snacks will be on sale at the start of the visitor route.  Toilets available.  One steep hill towards the end of the walk.  Dogs on leads welcome in the parkland.

At the heart of the park lies Croome Court, once home to the Earls of Coventry with four floors to explore. The 6th Earl of Coventry was an 18th century trend-setter and today Croome follows his lead by using artists and craftspeople in the house to tell the story of its eclectic past in inventive ways, perfect for making new discoveries.
