Set in 400 acres of parkland, woodland and gardens, Ragley is much more than just a stately home. Family home of the Hertford (Conway Seymour) family since it was built in 1680. Ragley is surrounded by 27 acres of delightful ever-changing gardens, while the parkland contains the exciting Childrens Adventure Wood, 3D Maze, Stables, Carriage Collection, Woodland Walk and Lakeside Picnic Area.

Bodgers Cabin in the Park serves light refreshments, sweets and ice cream. Discover the countryside on the Woodland Walk in the picturesque four hundred acre park. In our Stables you can find our Carriage Collection and equestrian memorabilia. Dogs are welcome on leads in the Park and on the Woodland Walk, but not in the House, Gardens or Adventure Wood.

The Gardens

Roughly 20 acres, surrounding the Hall are made up of mature woodland, contrasting greatly with the formal Rose Garden. 1912 the house and gardens were abandoned and over the next 30 years nature was not long in reclaiming the grounds. When the house was reoccupied by the Eighth Marquess of Hertford, the gardens were low on the list of priorities. However they have come a long way since then and still have much scope for development. There is something to see throughout the open season from spring bulbs, rhododendrons and spring flowering shrubs right up into October for border flowers, autumn bulbs, autumn foliage and berries.
