Hartlebury Castle Nr Kidderminster

Tuesday 12th March 

The Castle has been home to the Bishops of Worcester for over 1000 years. 

Today our visit to Hartlebury Castle includes a chance to explore the South wing of the Castle which was previously the Bishop's Palace and learn more about the history of the Castle and the people who used to live here. We can also discover the State Rooms including the magnificent Medieval Great Hall and the Georgian Saloon, as well as the Hurd Library.

There are fascinating displays and exhibitions in the North wing which make up the Worcestershire County Museum. The Museum houses a diverse collection of objects including toys, domestic items, beautiful costumes, craftwork by the Bromsgrove Guild and a host of horse-drawn vehicles including a very special collection of gypsy caravans. 

Outside we can enjoy a tranquil moat side walk, explore the Old Moat Coppice nature reserve or stroll around the Castle's Carriage Circle.
