Charlecote has been home to the Lucy family since the 12-century. Their stories are told throughout the house by their portraits and the objects they collected from around the world.


Today you will see how Mary Elizabeth and her husband George Hammond Lucy spared no expense extending their home and furnishing it in Victorian times. The gardens include a formal parterre, colourful herbaceous planting and shady woodland garden. The wider ‘Capability’ Brown parkland offers level walks with picturesque views across the River Avon. A herd of fallow deer has been in the park since Tudor times.

Note: no coach bookings on Bank Holiday weekends, or Bank Holidays. Some showrooms may be closed in spring due to electrical rewiring project.
