There’s more than meets the eye at Croome. A secret wartime airbase, now a visitor centre and museum, was once a hub of activity for thousands of people. Outside is the grandest of English landscapes, ‘Capability’ Brown’s masterful first commission, with commanding views over the Malverns. The parkland was nearly lost but is now great for walks and adventures with a surprise around every corner. At the heart of the park lies Croome Court, once home to the Earl’s of Coventry. The 6th Earl was an 18th century trend setter, and today Croome follows his lead using artists and crafts-people to tell the story of its eclectic past in inventive ways.
