Description

Baddesley Clinton was the home of the Ferrers family for 500 years. Much of the house you see today was built by Henry Ferrers, a lawyer, diarist and antiquarian, in the late 1500s.

The house was a sanctuary not only for the Ferrers family, but also for persecuted Catholics who were hidden from priest hunters in its secret hiding places during the 1590s. Why not take a stroll around the gardens from the walled garden to the vegetable patch and beyond; the gardens at Baddesley look beautiful whatever the season.

Prices starts from £19.80 for adults, £9.90 for Child and £29.70 for Family. If you’re looking for the best place to visit with family and kids, this is a perfect choice for a fun and relaxing day out.
