Baddesley Clinton

For curious children, a medieval moated century manor house with a 19th century Catholic chapel, gardens, lakeside walk and nature trail. Tire them out first and there's enough for a couple of hours.

This atmospheric house dates from the 15th century and was the home of the Ferrers family for 500 years.

The house and interiors reflect its heyday in the Elizabethan era, when it was a haven for persecuted Catholics: there are three priest's holes. There is a delightful garden with stewponds and a romantic lake and nature walk.

• Discover the priest's hole used in 1591.
• Relax and read in the Great Hall.
• Plot to plate: discover what's fresh in the traditional vegetable garden.
