With its striking ruined mansion, sweeping gardens, dramatic fountain, woodland trails and wilderness play area, Witley Court offers plenty to explore.
Step back in time to a bygone age and wander through what was once a Victorian party palace. Picture glittering balls, distinguished guests and rooms created to impress at every turn. Displays and an engaging audio tour help bring the mansion’s heyday to life, before its fortunes changed after the First World War. A devastating fire in 1937 left the building roofless, creating the atmospheric ruin you see today.
Don’t miss the Perseus and Andromeda fountain, one of Europe’s most impressive water features. On sunny days, the lawns beside it are perfect for spreading out a picnic and enjoying the views together. Families can then make their way to the wilderness play area, where younger visitors have plenty of space to climb, swing and explore.
