Things to do in Warwickshire

Taking in National Trust destinations, castles, gardens and a working farm made famous by Countryfile, we’re incredibly lucky that Studley Castle is surrounded by some of the best things to do in Warwickshire. The parks and farms are flush with wildlife while the nearby stately homes are steeped in history – and the gardens and marble fountain at Kenilworth Castle are certainly one of the most picturesque tourist spots Warwickshire has to offer.

Packwood House

23-min drive from Studley Castle, B94 6AT

The gardens at Packwood burst into colour from late June, creating a rich feast for the senses that is every bit as beautiful as the tapestries inside the house. The flower borders and wildflower meadows attract butterflies galore, with the rose garden a particular highlight.

Coughton Court

9-min drive from Studley Castle, B49 5JA

A grade I listed Tudor country house, Coughton Court features a bluebell wood, Chelsea Flower Show silver-medal winning gardens, and four scenic walking routes taking in the River Arrow, Kinwarton Dovecote, and views of Studley Castle.

Morton Hall Gardens

17-min drive from Studley Castle, B96 6SJ

The gardens of Morton Hall have been designed as a succession of garden ‘rooms’, each with its own unique character, planting style, colour scheme and landscape. They’re set on a fairly steep embankment, but with almost 1,000 plant varieties to see it’s well worth a visit.

Kenilworth Castle and Gardens

33-min drive from Studley Castle, CV8 1NG

First constructed in the early 1120’s by Geoffrey de Clinton, Kenilworth Castle has gone from medieval fortress to Elizabethan palace to its current state as a grade I listed building, surrounded by a beautifully recreated Elizabethan garden with marble fountain and ornate aviary.
