Get outdoors.

Stately Homes And Gardens To Visit In Staffordshire

October 19, 2023

We have rounded up a selection of stately homes and gardens in Staffordshire where you can take the family, create an educational experience for a class or simply enjoy a day out.

Stately homes and gardens are beautiful places to visit and spend time with friends or family. Built by aristocratic families over the centuries, resulting in mansions with remarkable architecture and lavish décor. Every corner of these homes has beautiful art and antiques comparable to the collections found in the best museums. Here are three stately homes and gardens to visit in Staffordshire.

Shugborough Estate

At Shugborough Estate, you can explore a historic Georgian mansion and its beautiful 900 acres of parklands and woodlands. Your kids will love the on-site Park Farm . They can learn about farming and meet farm animals like Longhorn cows, Southdown sheep, Tamworth pigs, and Dorking chickens. There is an adventure playground, Explorer’s Wood, which is complete with a zip wire! This is the perfect destination for a beautiful day outdoors.  Here is a selection of family-friendly things to do at the Shugborough Estate.

Shugborough Hall

Shugborough Hall is located near Great Haywood, Staffordshire, on the edge of Cannock Chase. The estate was formerly owned by the Bishops of Lichfield but passed through several hands before being purchased in 1624 by William Anson, a local lawyer and ancestor of the Earls of Lichfield. The Anson family owned the estate for three centuries until the death of the 4th Earl of Lichfield in 1960, after which it was allocated to the National Trust in lieu of death duties and leased to Staffordshire County Council. Management of the estate was later returned to the National Trust in 2016.

Visitors are welcome to explore the grounds and mansion house, which are open to the public. The attraction is known as “The Complete Working Historic Estate”, including a working model farm museum from 1805 that features a working watermill, kitchens, a dairy, a tea room, and rare breeds of farm animals. The estate’s brewery, restored in 1990, is England’s only log-fired brewery that produces beer commercially. Since 2007, the brewhouse has been a working exhibit operated by Titanic Brewery and previously used only on special occasions. Additionally, the private apartments have housed an exhibition of the work of Patrick Lichfield since 2011. Visitors can view his cameras and lighting gear set up in a recreation of his studio. There is a gallery of some of his most famous photographic subjects.

Trentham Estate 

Trentham Gardens is a gorgeous place for a day out. You can explore the stunning gardens, take a lakeside walk, and let kids go wild on many activities. There is an adventure playground and Treetop Adventure . For more adventure, walk with 140 Barbary macaques at Trentham Monkey Forest . Afterwards, you can visit the shopping village, grab a bite to eat at one of the many restaurants or check out the award-winning Trentham Garden Centre.

Trentham gardens and lake 

The Trentham Estate has some of the finest contemporary gardens in Britain. The renowned designer and multi-Chelsea gold-medal winner Tom Stuart-Smith led the imaginative revival of the famous Italian Gardens. The Rivers of Grass and the adjacent Floral Labyrinth are east of the Italian Gardens . Trentham Gardens has won many awards, including the Enjoy Staffordshire Tourism Gold Award, Countryfile Garden of The Year, Horticulture Week Custodian Awards, and a Gold Accolade by Visit England. At the heart of Trentham Gardens is the mile-long Trentham Lake. It is dotted with small islands and teems with an array of wildlife. The circular lakeside walk offers views of the River Trent, ancient wildflower meadows and woodlands, a cascading weir, and nature trails. 

Discover the fairies

As you stroll around the mile-long lake, through the woodlands and garden, keep looking for the enchanting fairies that call this place their home. It’s no secret that these mystical creatures reside at the bottom of the garden, and Trentham Gardens is no exception to this magical tradition. Follow the fairy trail and get some fantastic photos.

Location:  Stone Rd, Trentham, Stoke-on-Trent ST4 8JG

Boscobel House

Boscobel House is a must-visit destination for families with children who love dramatic adventure stories. Head back to the 17th century, where you will discover Britain’s intriguing and frightening history. This historic house, run by English Heritage, is a timber-framed hunting lodge that has been beautifully preserved. 

Boscobel’s Garden is a lovely example of a 17th-century garden. With its characteristic box hedging and plants like peonies and artemisias, it’s a perfect representation of what parterre gardens were like in that era. Check out the grass maze – a 28-metre-long willow tunnel that winds through a nearby field. This tunnel is a perfect spot for kids to play. Once you’ve explored the Garden and maze, stroll around the farmyard. For a bit of fun, Boscobel House offers a play area and trail that’s perfect for kids. They can experience the thrill of hiding in replica priest holes and then explore the climbing frame, slide, and swing. And while they play, parents can relax next door in the cafe with a hot drink and cake. 

Boscobel House’s history

This historic Grade II* listed building is located in the parish of Boscobel in Shropshire . It has served as a farmhouse, a hunting lodge, and a holiday home. However, it is most renowned for its involvement in the escape of Charles II after the Battle of Worcester in 1651. For a unique experience, peek into the priest hole where Charles II hid and planned his next move during the Civil War. You can also learn about his visit and take a short walk to see the descendant of the famous oak tree, where he hid for a day while Cromwell’s soldiers searched for him.

Location: Brewood, Bishop’s Wood, Stafford ST19 9AR

Staffordshire boasts some of the UK’s most beautiful and historically significant stately homes and gardens. From the grandeur of Shugborough Estate to the tranquil beauty of Trentham Estate. Let us know in the comments if you visit one of our suggestions!

Gardens in Staffordshire, England

England is the most garden-loving country in the world, with more gardens open to the public than anywhere else. London is the Garden Capital of the world, in the sense of having a higher proportion of garden-loving residents than any other capital city in the world. But there are disappointingly few great English gardens in London: one therefore has to travel by car or train to other English regions to find great gardens to visit. The most famous period in English garden history is the eighteenth century, when the original English landscape gardens were made. In addition to these English Garden Finder entries, please see (1) Garden Tours in England (2) our 10 musical histories of garden and landscape design in the British Isles (3) our page on Prehistoric Landscapes and Gardens in the British Isles .

Victory Park

Built as a large outdoor monument to commemorate one of the most important chapters in the country's history, Moscow's Victory Park is a wonderful green space that pays tribute to the victory of the Soviet people during the Great Patriotic War.

Located to the southwest of Moscow city centre on Poklonnaya Gora, or "Bow-Down Hill", Victory Park (Park Pobedy in Russian) is a large green space and open-air museum paying tribute to Russian war victories . Inaugurated in the 1960s in celebration of the Russian triumph over Napoleon , further memorials were added in the ensuing decades, and in 1995 the first post-Soviet parade was held here. In 2005, Putin opened a new monument to commemorate the Red Army's efforts in World War II , known in Russia as the Great Patriotic War .

A walk in the park

The most striking feature of the park is the Monument to Victory , an impressive obelisk that towers above its visitors at exactly 141.8 metres (465 feet) in height (10 cm, or 3.9 inches, for every day Russia was involved in the war). A large sculpture of Nike, the Greek goddess of victory, is barely visible at the top of the obelisk, which is another creation by the designer of the controversial Statue of Peter the Great .

Victory Park is also home to the  Museum of the Great Patriotic War , an ideal place to learn about the history of Russia's participation in World War II. In front of the museum is a long avenue lined with fountains which are illuminated in red at night in remembrance of the bloodshed during the continuous battles. A triumphal arch, numerous sculptures and a memorial church, mosque and synagogue can also be found throughout the park.

Tranquillity and history

Moscow's Victory Park offers the opportunity to stroll through the gardens to relax and reflect on some of the events that marked the course of the country's, and for that matter, the world's history. If you're lucky and your trip coincides with one of the city's holidays , one of the most special dates to visit the park is May 9th, Victory Day . You'll see the city dressed in their best clothes, celebrating and looking to the future with joy and optimism.
