Astley Castle is a ruined medieval manor house rebuilt inside its own walls as an award-winning Landmark Trust holiday let - new brick and glass slotted into the old stone shell. Unless you're staying, the interior is off-limits, but the grounds make for a quiet walk past a church and a pool.
Worth the trip
The building itself for those who book it - reviewers who've stayed call it one of the best Landmark Trust properties they know, out of dozens.
Before you go
You can't get inside without booking a stay or catching one of the occasional open days - check the Landmark Trust site first, and expect something closer to a fortified manor than a turreted castle.
This is an unusual case since Astley Castle now operates as a Landmark Trust holiday let, so reviews split between guests praising the beautifully restored accommodation and day visitors describing a pleasant walk around the grounds and signboards on the limited days it's open to the public. One visitor felt it reads more like a historic mansion than a traditional castle, and access to the interior is restricted outside of open days or a stay.
Award-winning holiday let; occasional open days
“Went to Astley Castle's open day today and it was brilliant.”— Nicola Hopley, visitor review
