Charlecote Park
Charlecote Park
Charlecote has been home to the Lucy family since the 12th century. Their stories are told throughout the house with their portraits as well as through the objects they collected from around the world. See the design influence they had on the house and parkland. Step into the house today and you will see how Mary Elizabeth Lucy spared no expense furnishing it in Victorian times.
The gardens include a formal parterre, colourful herbaceous planting, woodland walk and the wider parkland (inspired by 'Capability' Brown), which offers miles of walks and views across the River Avon. A herd of fallow deer has been in the park since Tudor times.
School Visits
We welcome self-led school visits (we can provide an introductory talk). Find out about the Victorian life of the wealthy Lucy family and their servants in the house and outbuildings.
The gardens and parkland are a delightful environment for children to discover more about nature and habitats. We’ll work with you to create a rewarding experience for children of all ages.
