Weston Park House and Gardens

Weston Park, on the borders of Shropshire and Staffordshire, is the ancestral home of the Earls of Bradford. It was built in 1671 and is set in glorious parkland with formal gardens and woodland walks. Disraeli, a Prime Minister of discernment, said 'you will find Weston beautiful, I marvel whether I shall ever see the like of it again.' He never did!

In later years, P.G. Wodehouse wisely used Weston as his inspiration for Blanding's Castle. Today, Weston can equally accommodate a summit of world leaders, yesteryear rallies, game fairs and even the annual V festival. There's a miniature railway, adventure playground, auditorium, bars and restaurants but many prefer simply to take a gentle stroll around the park and admire the views.
