Home to the Croft family for over 1000 years, learn the story of one family's struggle of power, politics and pleasure. Croft Castle is a 17th century castellated manor house with plenty to see and do.

You can walk round the beautiful walled garden, have a bite to eat in our tea room and explore over a thousand acres of parkland from 10am. The castle and National Trust gift shop open at 11am. The castle is open for free-flow viewing throughout the day, so you can relax in the rooms, play the piano and even dress up in our family room.
